A new study from the University at Albany shows that artificial intelligence systems may organize information in far more ...

Sam Raskin has wrapped his head around a math problem so complex it took five academic studies — and more than 900 pages — to solve. The results are a sweeping, game-changing math proof that was ...

For more than a century, scientists have treated chemistry as the master key to building new materials, tuning bonds and charges to coax atoms into useful patterns. A new wave of research is quietly ...

Landmark results in geometry and number theory marked an exciting year for mathematics, at a time when advances in artificial intelligence are starting to transform the subject’s future. In May, a ...

Jason Lotay explains how mathematicians studying special geometries are collaborating with physicists to explore M-theory, an 11-dimensional description of the world that unifies the various string ...

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...

If two people pick alternate slices from a pizza that has been cut unevenly from an off-centre point, common sense suggests ...

With its bright colors, easy-to-learn rules and familiar music, the video game Tetris has endured as a pop culture icon over the past 40 years. Many people, like me, have been playing the game for ...

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity ...
