Peter Badge. Mathematics often feels like a collection of isolated islands. Each one operates with its own rules, and building bridges between them is notoriously difficult. Today, the Norwegian ...

Gerd Faltings, a number theorist at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany, has won the 2026 Abel Prize, one of the most prestigious awards in mathematics, the Norwegian Academy of ...

In this simulation, 66 of the 100 needles crossed a line (you can count ’em). Using this number, we get a value of pi at 3.0303—which is not 3.14—but it's not terrible for just 100 needles. With ...

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

After years of creating highly specialized software, researchers used supercomputer clusters to finally solve the "100,000-body problem.
