Some animals carry patterns so precise and mathematically exact that scientists struggle to explain how nature produced them ...

Architects who measured the andesite blocks at Pumapunku, Bolivia, found that many of them are perfect replicas of one ...

After 80 years of fruitless struggle by human mathematicians, a major geometry conjecture has at last been solved—via a straightforward query to a chatbot. “No previous AI-generated proof has come ...

Three mathematicians just proved a famous 30-year-old conjecture in geometry, with only a tiny assist from AI. The conjecture says that even within enormous, scattered and chaotic assemblages of ...

Two RIKEN physicists have established new theoretical limits for experimentally measurable quantities by viewing solids through a lens of quantum geometry. Their results shed light both on the physics ...

The usual approach to studying a solid in physics is to consider all the interactions acting between its atoms or molecules and then use the laws of quantum mechanics to determine the solid’s ...

Figure 1: Quantum objects such as electrons, protons and neutrons are notoriously difficult to pin down due to Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. Now, two RIKEN researchers have derived analogous ...

“Everyone Is Lying to You for Money,” directed by Ben McKenzie, gives a solid introduction to virtual currency, and its traps. By Alissa Wilkinson When you purchase a ticket for an independently ...

Abstract: We develop a theory for the representation of opaque solids as volumes. Starting from a stochastic representation of opaque solids as random indicator functions, we prove the conditions ...

Diccon Hyatt is an experienced financial and economics reporter. He's written hundreds of articles breaking down complex financial topics in plain language, emphasizing the impact that economic ...
