Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard pioneered quantum information theory. Now they’ve been awarded the highest honor in computer science.
Who needs a supercomputer when you can calculate pi with a box of sewing needles?
For railroads, it’s all about managing static and kinetic friction.
Massive data centers for generative AI are bad for the Earth. How about launching them into orbit?
A team of geologists found for the first time evidence linking regions of low seismic velocity and the shape of the Earth’s magnetic field.
Here are three smart tricks, based on an understanding of frictional forces, to beat a slippery slope.
The “Joining” seems to connect people via radio waves. Let’s dig into the physics at play.
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.
In the mid-19th century, Bernhard Riemann conceived of a new way to think about mathematical spaces, providing the foundation for modern geometry and physics.
