    OpenAI Solves Navier-Stokes Millennium Problem Using AI

    OpenAI has made a significant breakthrough in mathematics by solving the Navier-Stokes problem, one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems. The company's new AI model, significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra, produced a proof for the existence and smoothness of the Navier-Stokes equations in just 88 hours. The proof, produced by a group of 10,000 agents, was verified using GPT-6 Astra and published in the Lean language. The Navier-Stokes equations describe the motion of fluids and gases, and the problem asked whether these equations break down completely in certain situations. OpenAI's proof claims to have identified such a situation, something that no one could do for over 200 years. This is the second millennium problem to be solved by AI, following the Poincaré conjecture solved by Russian mathematician Grigory Perelman.

    Buenos Aires Teenagers Spend Over 6 Hours Daily on Phones, 40% Show Mental Health Issues

    A joint investigation by the Ministry of Education of the City of Buenos Aires and the Institute of Technology of Buenos Aires (ITBA) found that secondary students in the city spend more than 6 hours a day on their cell phones, with 40% showing signs of depression. The study, which surveyed over 3,200 students, also found that the type of relationship with screens has a greater impact on socio-emotional well-being than the amount of time spent. Argentine teenagers spend more time on their phones than English and American counterparts. The City promotes initiatives like 'Compromiso Familiar' to reduce screen time and delay smartphone delivery.

    Gaia Spacecraft Discovers Three Dormant Black Holes

    Astronomers using data from the Gaia spacecraft have identified three stellar-mass black holes that were previously undetectable due to their dormant state. These black holes, which do not emit light, were discovered through their gravitational influence on nearby stars. The findings challenge current understanding of stellar evolution, as two of the systems consist of close binary pairs that should not have survived the collapse of the heavier star.
