Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in ...

What if the famous P vs NP problem isn’t just about algorithms but about the observers trying to solve them? Research ...

Physicists have determined that most of the universe is dark matter -- invisible to us but affecting the universe anyway.

In 1999, Belgian physicist Chris Van Den Broeck implemented a minor alteration to Alcubierre’s concept by shrinking the ...

The Riemann Hypothesis is one of the most famous problems in that set. It’s about prime numbers. That’s any whole number that can only be divided by 1 and itself – like 2, 3, 5, 7 and 11.

A MATHEMATICIAN from the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) and his Norwegian colleague have developed a new ...

Satellite mega-constellations are quickly becoming the backbone of a number of industries. Cellular communication, GPS, ...

Quantum theory fails to explain how the reality we experience emerges from the world of particles. A new take on quantum ...

THE powerful mathematical framework for understanding complex quantum operators is rooted in a field called “quantum harmonic analysis.” That’s a mouthful.

A Star Trek–inspired idea by Miguel Alcubierre kicked off decades of theory and experiments as scientists pursue plausible ...
