“Crystal Math” uses equations—and minimal resources—to rapidly predict the 3D structures of molecular crystals, which could speed up R&D for drugs and electronic devices. Researchers at New York ...
Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...
New research shows that advances in technology could help make future supercomputers far more energy efficient. Neuromorphic computers are modeled after the structure of the human brain, and researche ...
Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in school, where we learn about its use in the context of a circle. More ...
Four scientists debate whether math is an inherent part of the universe, or merely how our brains cope with - and explain - our environment. Math describes and predicts the world all around us -- from ...
