When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

The state of the humanities today creates a crisis,” the report concluded. “There is genuine doubt today whether the ...

“Our goal was to build a clear mathematical bridge between abstract algebra and the experience of listening to music,” said study co-author Olga Ibragimova. “When we think of melodies as shapes we can ...

It feels so obvious that time moves forward that questioning it can seem almost pointless.

LLMs have recently helped find solutions to a number of minor longstanding problems. But a new plan called First Proof is really putting them to the test ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia Okanagan have published a mathematical argument that, they say, rules out ...

A marriage of formal methods and LLMs seeks to harness the strengths of both.

A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, a riddle that has persisted in nuclear physics for decades ...

The total energy of the ball consists of its potential energy (related to position) plus its kinetic energy (related to motion). To zero out both components, you would have to give a precise value to ...

After some serious number crunching, a researcher says that he has come up with a mathematical model for a viable time machine: a Traversable Acausal Retrograde Domain in Space-time (TARDIS). He ...

Scientists have a solid understanding of what makes up spindles — the cellular machinery that separates chromosomes — but are less certain about how the building blocks of spindles, called ...

Choosing A-Levels can feel stressful for both students and parents. Some subjects are known to be harder because they need strong maths skills, long essays, or complex problem-solving. Many families ...
