Just finished the very energizing experience of working with 84 talented high-school students at our 2026 Wolfram Summer Research Program (& coming up with projects that suit them). It's so impressive and encouraging to see what they were able to do in <2 weeks! education.wolfram.com/summer-resea...

What Is Ruliology?

Stephen Wolfram explains the science of ruliology--studying what abstract rules do--and integral applications of the science in his own work.

Victorians called it "protoplasm". But what really is "living matter"? And can we make a foundational theory of such a microscopically "bulk orchestrated" form of matter? Seems like maybe we can ... writings.stephenwolfram.com/2025/11/what...

Congratulations to our 2025 Wolfram Innovator Award winners! Such an interesting group doing such interesting and important things! blog.wolfram.com/2025/11/07/a...

Yes, we have a rich history. But as I prepare (for the 37th time!) for my keynote tomorrow at our annual Wolfram Technology Conference I'm most excited to talk about what's next. Join me live at 1 pm ET www.youtube.com/Wolfram_Rese...

Dropped in at Bletchley Park ... and at the National Museum of Computing met an old friend: an Elliott 903---the first kind of computer I used (in 1972). I think I've aged better...

If you do functional programming (like in Wolfram Language) you've probably used lots of pure functions, or lambdas. But what are lambdas like in the wild? Things I'm doing in CS, bio and ML converged to make me curious to find out... writings.stephenwolfram.com/2025/09/the-...

The Ruliology of Lambdas

Stephen Wolfram explains the rich ruliology of lambdas, made particularly significant by their connection to practical computing. Covers basic computations to undecidability to multiway graphs and evaluation strategies.

I've been getting mail with unsolicited "theories of physics" for 50 (!) years. What can one do with all that enthusiasm and energy? Maybe now I have an idea... writings.stephenwolfram.com/2025/08/i-ha...

“I Have a Theory Too”: The Challenge and Opportunity of Avocational Science

Stephen Wolfram encourages amateur scientists to channel their passion, truly learn the subject that interests them and then systematically explore the computational universe using ruliology.

Launching Version 14.3 of Wolfram Language & Mathematica. It's a version with a particularly large number of very long-awaited features (including ones planned for 38(!) years) ... that we finally figured out how to deliver! 🎁 writings.stephenwolfram.com/2025/08/new-...

Nice pictures I happened to just get and thought I should share...

Wow! Look at what high school students just did in 2 weeks #WithWolfram at the Wolfram High School Summer Research Program. (And, yes, in "extreme professoring mode" I tried to get to know all 75 students and suggest projects that would be great fits for each of them...)

Today is the birthday of A New Kind of Science. What a huge project that was (10+ years, etc.)! I'm still amazed it actually got done. At the 20th anniversary I told some of the behind-the-scenes story... writings.stephenwolfram.com/2022/05/the-...

From the point of view of science I've never been too excited about the Game of Life. But now I realize that what's really exciting about it is what it tells us about what we can call metaengineering... writings.stephenwolfram.com/2025/03/what...

I'm excited to share yet another (unexpected) application of my recent science: a computational formalization for foundations of medicine. (Why is medicine hard? Are there a finite number of diseases? ...) writings.stephenwolfram.com/2025/02/towa...

Towards a Computational Formalization for Foundations of Medicine

Stephen Wolfram takes the first steps in developing a medical metamodel framework for studying and formalizing the abstract foundations of medicine.
