To come up with a result as weird as this, you need to be using some equally mind-bending math – and indeed, this paradox comes to us from the world of set theoretic geometry. If that’s not familiar ...

By institutionalising muhūrta s within mathematics, the UGC is effectively telling students that astrological determinism is ...

Knot theory is a branch of topology that has surprisingly practical applications, such as understanding how proteins coil DNA and how molecular structures remain stable. The theory’s central question: ...

In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

New quantum mechanics research is introducing an advanced Pi formula, optimizing complex computations and reshaping ...

Over the last half 50 years, fractals have challenged ideas about geometry and pushed math, science and technology into unexpected areas.

Tipping points in our climate predictions are both wildly dramatic and wildly uncertain. Can mathematicians make them useful?

Skoltech scientists have devised a mathematical model of memory. By analyzing its new model, the team came to surprising ...

The Goldilocks solution to our math crisis is where relatable problems aren’t so simple that there’s no learning but also not so complex and irrelevant that there's none.

Lauda and his colleagues solve some of the problems with topological qubits by using a class of theoretical particles they ...

Gen Alphas are yelling out numbers like "6-7" and "41." But, why? Does this slang mean anything? Nope. It's a meme. And ...

“Rogue waves are, simply, a bad day at sea,” Fedele concluded. “They are extreme events, but they're part of the ocean's ...
