Scientists have long believed that foam behaves like glass, with bubbles locked into place. New simulations reveal that bubbles never truly settle and instead keep moving through many possible ...

Professional mathematicians have been stunned by the progress amateurs have made in solving long-standing problems with the assistance of AI tools, and say it could lead to a new way of doing mathemat ...

Learn how to calculate the maximum projectile range using Python functions. This tutorial demonstrates step-by-step coding techniques to simulate projectile motion, optimize range, and understand ...

In this tutorial, we find and plot a catenary curve using GlowScript Python, walking through the math, physics, and code step by step. Learn how to model a hanging cable, visualize the curve, and ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex ...

If you're struggling with math, these best math AI tools can help you solve those complex problems and equations with ease.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Standing in the middle of a field, we can easily forget that we live on a round planet. We’re so small in comparison to the Earth that ...

Large masses – such as a galaxy – curve space-time. Objects move along a geodesic. If we take into account that space-time itself has quantum properties, deviations arise (dashed line vs. solid line).

Professor Tom Bridgeland has been awarded a further five years of funding by the Royal Society to continue his prestigious Research Professorship and his ground-breaking work exploring the ...

A fundamental link between two counterintuitive phenomena in spin glasses— reentrance and temperature chaos—has been mathematically proven for the first time. By extending the Edwards–Anderson model ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

Bates is welcoming a large group of new faculty this year. Seventeen tenured or tenure-track professors will join the college in the course of the 2025-2026 academic year. Bates News is introducing ...
