Hidden correspondences hint at a deeper structure to the mathematical universe. Our columnist unpacks one of those connections and asks mathematicians what they might mean.
Mathematicians at OpenAI showed that the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how fluids flow, can sometimes “blow up.” ...
Sarah Demers, chair of the physics department at Yale University, sees the potential for large language models to both help ...
The group — consisting of then-postdocs Sahar Diskin and Philip Easo, graduate student Ritvik Ramanan Radhakrishnan, Benny ...
No larger than the head of a match, Potamopyrgus antipodarum doesn’t look very impressive. Few people visiting New Zealand’s Lake Alexandrina even notice the tiny gastropods littering the shores. The ...
The theoretical side of the field doesn’t require computing machines. But many questions would never have been posed without ...
To explore quantum phenomena, we must leave the familiar world and enter the abstract realm of Hilbert space. Quantum objects have multiple possible futures before they are observed. Hilbert space ...
In the second half of the 20th century, a conceptual tsunami swept through physics. The discovery that our world emerges from a microscopic world of molecules, which emerges from an even more ...
