For decades scientists have been trying to solve Feynman's Sprinkler Problem: How does a sprinkler running in reverse work? Through a series of experiments, a team of mathematicians has figured out ...

Progress in the foundations of physics is moving slowly. And yet it moves. Today I look at the five biggest problems in ...

The breakthrough extends a powerful “physics shortcut” and provides a practical template that could soon become a primary tool for exploring quantum dynamics. The approach makes the computationally ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is ...

So craft one, in clear language, about your problem. Write about why the change is needed, how things will shift and what you ...

The amplituhedron, a shape at the heart of particle physics, appears to be deeply connected to the mathematics of paper ...

Axiom Math, which has recruited top talent from Meta, has raised $64 million in seed funding to build an AI math whiz.

"Even the +, −, =, and x signs we take for granted only came into widespread use in the 17th century. Which means that the earlier algebraists we know of … all had expressed their equations mostly in ...
