How does a rat know its position in a maze? The key lies in the hippocampus, where particular neurons called place cells communicate with each other to help the animal sense where it is. A standard ...

In the 1980s, the US was constructing the Texas Superconducting Super Collider. It was designed to collide protons together so that scientists could study how gluons, which hold the quarks in protons ...

Distance geometry is an essential field in computational mathematics and structural biology, providing the theoretical foundation and practical algorithms required to reconstruct the three‐dimensional ...

An AI algorithm was taught to produce the lightest and strongest possible geometric structure for a nanomaterial (depending on what it was made of). The result was a carbon nanolattice that is light ...

Conventional catalysts for hydrogen production via water electrolysis usually contain precious metals and are expensive. However, cheaper alternatives have been developed, for example cobalt–manganese ...

An applied mathematician discovers geometric logic in Colorado’s Sun Temple ruins. A millennium ago, the Pueblo peoples were constructing incredible monuments and cities throughout the US Southwest.
