Two teams have shown how quantum approaches can solve problems faster than classical computers, bringing physics and computer science closer together.

A team of mathematicians has solved an important question about how solutions to polynomial equations relate to sophisticated geometric objects called Shimura varieties.

Large blocks of genes conserved through hundreds of millions of years of evolution hint at how the first animal chromosomes came to be.

The triangle angle sum theorem makes working with triangles easy. What happens when you can’t rely on it?

We might have a past faint sun to owe for life’s existence. This has consequences for the possibility of life outside Earth.

The same phenomenon by which an opera singer can shatter a wineglass also underlies the very existence of subatomic particles.

By using hypernetworks, researchers can now preemptively fine-tune artificial neural networks, saving some of the time and expense of training.

Infinite sums are among the most underrated yet powerful concepts in mathematics, capable of linking concepts across math’s vast web.

In a quest to map out a quantum theory of gravity, researchers have used logical rules to calculate how much Einstein’s theory must change. The result matches string theory perfectly.
