I think this is not the first question about twin primes here, but my own is the latest one!

I am a postgraduate student in Mathematics interested in the field of number theory. While searching on net I found out that the twin prime problem is one of the unsolved problem in Number theory. As a kid in mathematics research, I feel I can write something about it. (I do not mean that I will solve the problem, but I will try).

So, is there any new improvement in the proof or disproof of the twin prime conjucture?.

Thanks.

This answer may be too late to be useful to you, and you've likely heard the news from another source, but: Yes! There has been!
