For four decades, a quiet boundary in pure mathematics kept a powerful theorem locked inside the safe world of finite quantities. Now a new result known as Sebestyen’s theorem has pushed that boundary ...

Quantum computers are shifting from lab curiosities into real machines that can already outperform classical systems on ...

Winter jackets may seem simple, but sophisticated engineering allows them to keep body heat locked in, while staying ...

A new AI developed at Duke University can uncover simple, readable rules behind extremely complex systems. It studies how ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an ...

A research based concept for the mathematics education of physics teacher trainees is introduced, which integrates mathematical methods seminars in the experimental physics courses of the first two ...

Why is untangling two small knots more difficult than unravelling one big one? Surprisingly, mathematicians have found that larger and seemingly more complex knots created by joining two simpler ones ...

Mathematicians with UC San Diego’s Halıcıoğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI) – part of the School of Computing, Information and Data Sciences – have unveiled a novel approach to hierarchical clustering ...

A new physics paper takes a step toward creating a long-sought "theory of everything" by uniting gravity with the quantum world. However, the new theory remains far from being proven observationally.

A decade ago astrophysicists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), operated by the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ...

In the core of a knitting machine or at the tips of a skilled knitter’s needles, a strand of fiber can be transformed into anything from a delicate scarf to a bulletproof vest. But different knitting ...
