They're all working on something. They can't really give away hints in the math world or else you'll have sneaky snakes come in and steal their work. Thus, nothing happens until you publish it and prove your work. Otherwise you'll look like a dumb ass

just go to the arxiv or read some math blogs like Tao's blog.
Honestly if you want to know what current researchers are doing, just read current research.

Does the sentence "the field of fractions of an integral domain is the smallest field in which the domain can be embedded" have meaning to you?

if not, stick to undergrad.

Not that guy, but, definitions layered on definitions that often use horrible terminology is a terrible reason to avoid math. Definitions can be learned relatively quickly.

Now, wanting to be spoonfed without taking the time to study those definitions, that would be stupid. But OP hasn't necessarily confirmed that this is what he wants.

Just quit being a terminal fag and help him with what he's looking for. Oh right, you don't know either.

arxiv.org you tardo
Click on a topic that sounds interesting and start reading papers.
Unless you're already a grad student or on that level, you're not going to be able to get very far.

blogs are good
you can see updates on nlab like on wikipedia which is good
follow major people on stackexchange like zhen lin or mike shulman or people in a field you like

and btw, there totally is "math news". check ams bulletins and the like.
