A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden ...

Two recent developments suggest how familiar properties of gravity and matter may emerge from the quantum geometry that underlies loop quantum gravity. In everyday situations, and even in current high ...

Warp drive has long been shorthand for “pure fantasy,” a narrative device that lets starships hop between stars without ...

A team at UNIGE has uncovered a geometric structure once thought to be purely theoretical at the core of quantum materials, opening the door to major advances in future electronics. How can ...

A Princeton scientist with an interdisciplinary bent has taken two well-known problems in mathematics and reformulated them as a physics question, offering new tools to solve challenges relevant to a ...

What are your research topics? I study how mathematical objects of varying shapes and dimensions react to each other. For instance, can bodies be reshaped to exchange forms without breaking their ...

Noncommutative geometry offers a radical reformulation of traditional geometrical concepts by replacing the classical notion of a manifold with a noncommutative algebra of coordinates. This approach ...

Grigori Perelman electrified the mathematical world 3 years ago with his claim to have solved one of the most famous problems in mathematics (SN: 6/14/03, p. 378: If It Looks Like a Sphere…). The ...

Have you ever tried searching Google for answers to your homework, and more specifically, math and science problems? Back in the day, this was a hard feat, as Google would only lead users to websites ...
