Researchers developed a method to pattern gold nanoparticles with atomic precision, creating patchy particles with new shapes and functions for advanced technologies. (Nanowerk News) Inspired by an ...

It began as a strange discovery buried in chaos theory — a mathematical pattern that seemed to predict real events before they happened. From climate shifts to stock market crashes, scientists now ...

The amplituhedron is a geometric shape with an almost mystical quality: Compute its volume, and you get the answer to a central calculation in physics about how particles interact. Now, a young ...

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...

The flutter of a kick inside the womb may mean more than just a healthy, active baby—it could be laying the foundation for a deeper emotional bond between mother and child. A new study led by ...

The premise of Marcus du Sautoy’s Blueprints: How Mathematics Shapes Creativity is that mathematics and creativitiy spring from the same well — structure. Individual numbers exist without human help.

Last year, onlookers observed a startling site on China’s Qiantang River: waves forming a grid-like pattern. Dubbed the “matrix tide,” this complex wave pattern was caused by the river’s famed tidal ...

Using mathematics, the researchers were able to show that the 2PM plus light model behaves like a system of nonlinear oscillators - a sleep-wake oscillator, the oscillations of the body clock and the ...
