📖Read Time: 13 minutes 📊Readability: Advanced 📐 (Technical knowledge needed) 🔖Core Topics: complex, numbers, polynomial, theorem, algebraic Abstract Why do we need yet another article about complex numbers? This is a valid question and I have asked it myself. I …

Over the years, computer scientists have used cutting-edge processors to simulate the brains of increasingly more complex animals. They’ve already simulated worm and fruit fly brains, and are now working on mice. But according to a new paper, they’ve made …

We usually think of surface tension turning droplets into spheres in order to minimize their area. But spheres aren’t the only shape surface tension can enforce. Here, researchers suspend tiny droplets of oil in a soapy fluid. At the right …

Yesterday I was at Peter Scholze’s Seminaire Bourbaki talk, his write-up is available here. It was advertised as an exposition of the recent proof of the geometric Langlands conjecture, but Pierre Colmez accurately describes it as something much more: the …

It’s no exaggeration to say that the AIP Emilio Segre Visual Archives contains thousands of group portraits; we currently have 7,159 images tagged with “portraits, group,” and possibly more group portraits that are not tagged. Many group portraits tend to …

Physicists discovered new properties of the strong force by analyzing what happens when light-speed particles skim by each other. Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy …

📖Read Time: 15 minutes 📊Readability: Advanced 📐 (Technical knowledge needed) 🔖Core Topics: dimension, vector, space, dimensional, dimensions Abstract It took until the last century for physicists and mathematicians in the Netherlands to question the Euclidean concept of dimension as length, …

Recently, Finnish researchers made waves by announcing progress in the field of wireless energy transfer using a combination of sound waves, laser systems, and electromagnetic radiation. While they haven’t miraculously figured out how to beam energy long distances with perfect …
