After a long hiatus, the problem, which was likely inspired by juggling, has finally been resolved by a group of young mathematicians. The post Mathematicians Harness Randomness To Crack a...
The biggest breakthrough in modern theoretical physics is the discovery that gravity can collapse the dimensions of space. Physicists don’t yet understand the implications. The post Gravity...
Scientists have a history of trying — and failing — to link biology and quantum mechanics. The real connection between them may be in the math. The post Biology Might Not Be Quantum, but It...
Half of our genome is made of transposons — snips of DNA that can move and copy themselves. But they’re more than parasites or genetic junk. The post How Virus-like ‘Jumping Genes’ Became O...
The proof of a decades-old conjecture has given researchers a new way to understand complex networks. The post Mathematicians Build Long-Awaited Graph Sandwich first appeared on Quanta Maga...
