To study the origin and evolution of the universe, physicists rely on theories that describe the statistical relationships between different events or fields in spacetime, broadly referred to as ...

“Crystal Math” uses equations—and minimal resources—to rapidly predict the 3D structures of molecular crystals, which could speed up R&D for drugs and electronic devices. Researchers at New York ...

A simple mathematical model has helped chemists selectively synthesise a novel interwoven catenane structure. Researchers say models such as these may help improve chemists’ understanding of how to ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This article concerns the purpose, function, and mechanisms of students' rhythmic behaviors as they solve embodied-interaction problems, ...

The premise of Marcus du Sautoy’s Blueprints: How Mathematics Shapes Creativity is that mathematics and creativitiy spring from the same well — structure. Individual numbers exist without human help.

Rethink math education in India to foster mathematical thinking, enhancing reasoning and problem-solving skills beyond just ...

Math is everywhere: medicine, sports, banking, gambling, National Security Agency espionage. And then there’s science, which has adopted math as the preferred method of description for life, nonlife ...

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Scientists have long used mathematics to describe the physical properties of the universe. But what if the universe itself is math? That's what cosmologist Max Tegmark believes. In ...

Children with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) have a number of cognitive deficits. Mathematical ability seems particularly damaged in children with FASD. A new study supports the importance of ...
