The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in ...

The newly described microbe represents a world of parasitic, intercellular biodiversity only beginning to be revealed by ...

Encouraged by successes in understanding black holes, theoretical physicists are applying what they’ve learned to whole ...

Kellogg Stelle was a professor of physics at Imperial College London for decades until his death last month. In 1977, he developed a particle theory of gravity that’s renormalizable, but the theory’s ...

Mathematicians have broken through a long-standing barrier in the study of “minimizing surfaces,” which play an important role in both math and physics. In the mid-19th century, the Belgian physicist ...

Here are three words: pine, crab, sauce. There’s a fourth word that combines with each of the others to create another common word. What is it? When the answer finally comes to you, it’ll likely feel ...

In the mid-19th century, Bernhard Riemann conceived of a new way to think about mathematical spaces, providing the foundation for modern geometry and physics. Standing in the middle of a field, we can ...
