(Nanowerk News) Atomic interactions in everyday solids and liquids are so complex that some of these materials' properties continue to elude physicists' understanding. Solving the problems ...

A group of Boston-based mathematicians calling themselves the Metric Geometry and Gerrymandering Group are using their math superpowers to fight back against gerrymandering. They're holding a public ...

Though now extinct, ammonoids (a group of marine mollusks with shells) evolved for 350 million years, always with a tendency toward increasingly elaborate shell structures. Scientists have studied ...

The Martian surface is crisscrossed with what looks like the scars of running water cut into its dusty dry surface. For years, researchers have argued over the source of this water, whether it was fed ...

Gerrymandering, the redrawing of political districts to favor a particular group or agenda, is an increasingly relevant phenomenon in American politics. Common forms of gerrymandering include partisan ...

Networks, characterised by numerous connections and interactions permeate every field of research from social to biological and economical to technical. In an increasingly interconnected world, an ...

Atomic interactions in everyday solids and liquids are so complex that some of these materials' properties continue to elude physicists' understanding. Solving the problems mathematically is beyond ...

Researchers have built an electronic array on a microchip that simulates particle interactions in a hyperbolic plane, a geometric surface in which space curves away from itself at every point. Atomic ...
