Mathematicians Shed Light on Minimalist Conjecture
...in the Bulletin. The substantial proportion of computed elliptic curves with rank higher than 1 is somewhat analogous to dark matter in physics, they added. “This large mass of rational...
A New Tool to Help Mathematicians Pack
...in 8-D and a Leech lattice in 24-D. These arrangements are not only densest; they are “universally” optimal. Perhaps for this reason, the structures appear broadly throughout mathematics and physics....
A Random Place at the Table
...longer to fall down from the top of its flight back to its initial height? In high school physics, when students are asked to solve such problems, they are told...
A Twisted Path to Equation-Free Prediction
...modeling began almost 100 years ago, and from the start it was influenced heavily by physics and engineering, which had used differential equations to describe dynamic systems for the previous...
How Strange Twists in DNA Orchestrate Life
...shape and flexibility. “These experiments are going to stimulate a lot of thinking and rethinking, especially in the physics community,” said Wilma Olson, a biophysical chemist at Rutgers University in...
In Mysterious Pattern, Math and Nature Converge
...on a computer, their suspicions were confirmed: The interaction between drivers caused the spacing between departures to exhibit a distinctive pattern previously observed in quantum physics experiments. “I was thinking...
A Timely Fix for a Grand Theory of Nature
...ideas in ecology like neutral theory may be like the ideal gas law, an equation from physics that describes the general properties of gases very well. To make predictions about...
Solution: ‘A Random Place at the Table’
...longer to fall down from the top of its flight back to its initial height? In high school physics, when students are asked to solve such problems, they are told...
New Insights Into How Zika Harms the Brain
...researchers feel is reasonable. Some are posting their work to preprint servers, a practice that, while common in fields like physics, has never taken off in biology. Preprint papers, like...
