• Two New Wolfram Book Series to Advance Computational Work

  Months of groundwork came to fruition for Wolfram Media in 2025 with two new series taking off in earnest. As we look back on the year, we wanted to take the chance to highlight what we’ve been up to over the past 12 months and let you know what’s coming next. You might even want […]

• Global 3D Depth-Magnitude Distribution of 2025 Earthquakes

  The majority of earthquakes around the world can be found along continental plate boundaries, either due to divergent plate boundaries where new oceanic crust is generated, or at convergent plate boundaries where collisions and subduction can occur. Earthquakes can also be caused by the motion of magma below the surface as it moves, melts, and […]

• Wolfram & Raspberry Pi 5: Neural Networks, Image Processing and Physics Simulations

  Discover how the Raspberry Pi 5 turns into a full STEM lab with free Mathematica. From real-time sensor dashboards to image processing, neural networks and stunning math art, this guide empowers students, teachers and parents to explore, invent and visualize science and engineering like never before.

• Quantum Interference Loss via Path Encoding and Recovery by Quantum Erasure

  If we regard interference and entanglement as the most distinctive features of the quantum world, then “which-way” experiments lie at the heart of quantum physics, vividly illustrating the contrast between classical and quantum conceptions of nature. The idea of “which-way” experiments can be traced back to Einstein’s famous proposal of a double-slit experiment with a […]

• Using Interpretable Machine Learning to Extend Heterogeneous Antibody-Virus Datasets

  To quantify the immune response against a rapidly evolving virus, groups routinely measure antibody inhibition against many virus variants. Over time, the variants being studied change, and there is a need for methods that infer missing interactions and distinguish between confident predictions and hallucinations. Here, we develop a matrix completion framework that uses patterns in antibody-virus inhibition to infer the value and confidence of unmeasured interactions. This same approach can combine general datasets—from drug-cell interactions to user movie preferences—that have partially overlapping features.

• New Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS: The Views from Earth, Mars and Other Spots in the Solar System

  Comet 3I/ATLAS is the third detected interstellar visitor, identified by its hyperbolic orbit; backward integration places its origin beyond the solar system. It poses no hazard to Earth, passing no closer than about 1.8 au (~170 million miles, ~270 million km). Perihelion occurs around October 30, 2025 at roughly 1.4 au (~130 million miles, ~210 million km), just inside Mars’s orbit. Its size and physical properties are under active study worldwide. It should remain observable to ground-based telescopes through September 2025, become unobservable while near the Sun, and reappear by early December 2025 for renewed observations.

• Announcing the Winners of the 2025 One-Liner Competition

  Another year means another 2025 Wolfram Technology Conference, which means another One-Liner Competition. Each year, participants are challenged to show off their Wolfram Language skills in this contest to create the most incredible and original output using 140 characters or less without using 2D typesetting constructs or pulling in linked data. Entries from conference participants […]

• Nobel Prize in Physics 2025: Macroscopic Quantum Effects and the Dawn of Quantum Computer

  Huge congratulations to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis on the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics “for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunneling and energy quantization in an electric circuit.” Their superconducting Josephson-circuit experiments made quantum effects unmistakably visible at circuit scale, discrete, anharmonic energy levels and coherent tunneling between macroscopically distinct states, laying key groundwork for modern superconducting qubits. In this short computational essay, we’ll walk through compact simulations that reproduce those signatures: a spectroscopy-style level map for the Cooper-pair box/transmon, and time-domain tunneling dynamics with realistic decoherence to mirror the original observations.

• Announcing the 2025 Innovator Award Winners

  With each Wolfram Technology Conference comes the Wolfram Innovator Awards, where we seek out a new round of computational trailblazers across all disciplines. Every year we are in awe seeing all of the new ways of applying concentrated computational creativity that break the boundaries of technology and remind us all to never stop pushing. Without […]
