Researchers documented the activity of neurons that shape directional navigation as bats explored a remote island off the ...

Alexander Bobenko has spent the past 20 years chewing on mathematical doughnuts. In the 2000s, he tried to prove that compact ...

The math of data structures helps us understand how different storage systems come with different trade-offs between ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

A $1 million prize awaits anyone who can show where the math of fluid flow breaks down. With specially trained AI systems, ...

In an unprecedented step, researchers crafted a detailed model compatible with the universe’s accelerated expansion.

The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better.

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms. Marijn Heule turns mathematical ...

Naomi Saphra thinks that most research into language models focuses too much on the finished product. She’s mining the history of their training for insights into why these systems work the way they ...

The math of data structures helps us understand how different storage systems come with different trade-offs between resources such as time and memory. The discovery that tissues use electricity to ...
