✨ Oh joy, another paper promising to revolutionize math with fancy jargon like "GenerativeVerifier RL" and "PopulationLevel TestTime Scaling." 🤖 Because clearly, the solution to complex mathematical proofs is throwing more #buzzwords at it! 🎉

MaxProof: Scaling Mathematical Proof with Generative-Verifier RL and Population-Level Test-Time Scaling

We present MaxProof, a population-level test-time scaling framework for competition-level mathematical proof in the MiniMax-M3 series. M3 first trains three proof-oriented capabilities -- proof generation, proof verification, and critique-conditioned proof repair -- using a defense-in-depth generative verifier engineered for low false-positive rate. These capabilities are merged into a single released M3 model. At test time, MaxProof treats the model as a generator, verifier, refiner, and ranker, searches over a population of candidate proofs, and returns one final proof through tournament selection. With MaxProof test-time scaling, the M3 model reaches 35/42 on IMO 2025 and 36/42 on USAMO 2026, exceeding the human gold-medal threshold on both.

Fast Astronomical Transients in Archival Photographic Plates: Using optical aberrations as a tool for discerning real images, from plate artifacts

The detection of fast astronomical transients in photographic plates from the Palomar sky surveys conducted in the 1950s, was subject to the criticism that such transients could be just the effect of otherwise unaccounted for plate artifacts. In this paper, we show that transient images exhibit the coma aberration pattern expected from off-axis point sources recorded through the telescope optics, a signature that plate artifacts cannot naturally reproduce. Although the data does not by themselves establish the physical origin of the light that generated the images, they lend support to hypotheses that do not rely on instrumental effects to explain transients.

Membranproteine zählen zu den spannendsten, aber auch schwierigsten Zielmolekülen... Ein Forschungsteam aus Kanada hat nun eine besonders schonende #Methode entwickelt: Sie kombinieren #Peptergents – Peptid-Mäntel, die Membranproteine stabilisieren – mit His-getaggten Peptidiscs, die sich leicht isolieren lassen. Details lest ihr im Artikel von Andrea Pitzschke: https://www.laborjournal.de/editorials/3462.php

Computer finds flaw in major physics paper for first time

A computer language designed to robustly verify mathematical theorems and expose logical flaws has been turned towards a physics paper – and spotted an error. The discovery raises questions about how many other papers may harbour similar issues
