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

At the turn of the 20th century, the renowned mathematician David Hilbert had a grand ambition to bring a more rigorous, mathematical way of thinking into the world of physics. At the time, physicists ...

Symplectic geometry is a relatively new field with implications for much of modern mathematics. Here’s what it’s all about. In the early 1800s, William Rowan Hamilton discovered a new kind of ...

When tech founders start weighing in on school subjects, students tend to pay attention. In a recent X exchange that sparked curiosity and classroom debates, Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, shared a ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly ...

New research shows that advances in technology could help make future supercomputers far more energy efficient. Neuromorphic computers are modeled after the structure of the human brain, and researche ...
