Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

A pair of mathematicians has built on an obscure, 30-year-old mathematical theory to show that soap-filmlike minimal surfaces appear abundantly in a wide range of shapes. The dissertation, by Jon ...

The study of Dirac-harmonic maps sits at the intersection of differential geometry and quantum field theory, uniting concepts from harmonic maps and spinor fields into a single elegant framework.

Math as both profession and course of study can be a hard sell, something even Don Draper might have trouble pitching. The field unites numbers, theories, and ideas that, yes, can be physically ...
