Ten years ago, researchers proved that adding full memory can theoretically aid computation. They’re just now beginning to ...
Quantum calculations amount to sophisticated estimates. But in 1931, Hans Bethe intuited precisely how a chain of particles ...
A young computer scientist and two colleagues show that searches within data structures called hash tables can be much faster ...
Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights ...
A new proof reveals the answer to the decades-old “moving sofa” problem. It highlights how even the simplest optimization problems can have counterintuitive answers. If you’ve ever moved into a new ...
DNA is often compared to a written language. The metaphor leaps out: Like letters of the alphabet, molecules (the nucleotide bases A, T, C and G, for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine) are ...
Richard Green is a freelance mathematics writer and a professor of mathematics at the University of Colorado Boulder. He has a degree from the University of Oxford and a Ph.D. from the University ...
Emmy Noether showed that fundamental physical laws are just a consequence of simple symmetries. A century later, her insights continue to shape physics.
