A painless, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can significantly improve how young adults learn math, my colleagues and I found in a recent study. In a paper in PLOS Biology, we describe how ...
Like physics, math has its own set of “fundamental particles”—the prime numbers, which can’t be broken down into smaller ...
After cracking an unsolvable mathematics problem last year, AI is back to tackle geometry. Developed by Google DeepMind, a new algorithm, AlphaGeometry, can crush problems from past International ...
Scientists have discovered a potential role for exotic prime numbers in black hole physics, highlighting an unexpected link between mathematics and cosmic phenomena.
