Physicists Start To Pin Down How Stars Forge Heavy Atoms

Coverage: 2 sources

The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) may not glitter quite like the night sky, plunked as it is between Michigan State University’s chemistry department and the performing arts center. Inside, though, the lab is teeming with substances that are otherwise found only in stars. Here, atomic nuclei accelerate to half the speed of light, smash into a target and shatter into smithereens.

A New Pyramid-Like Shape Always Lands the Same Side Up

A New Pyramid-Like Shape Always Lands the Same Side Up

Coverage: 2 sources

In 360 BCE, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an arrangement of five geometric shapes: flat-sided solids called polyhedra. These immediately became important objects of mathematical study. So it might be surprising that, millennia later, mysteries still surround even the simplest shape in Plato’s polyhedral universe: the tetrahedron, which has just four triangular faces. One major open problem… Source See the Story

When Did Nature Burst Into Vivid Color?

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

The natural world is awash with color, and many of these vibrant hues are meant to be seen. Apples blush red to coax animals to spread their seeds, lavender blooms are violet to lure in pollinating bees, and male peacocks trailed by flashy blue trains more successfully attract mates. However, the world is colorful only for some of us. These vivid signals can be perceived by animals that can see… Source Read Article

How Does Graph Theory Shape Our World?

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Born in the 18th century when Leonhard Euler solved the puzzle of the seven bridges of Königsberg, graph theory has become a foundational tool in mathematics. It studies relationships through nodes (vertices) and the links (edges) that connect them, transforming the complexity of systems — from friendship networks to airline routes — into elegant abstractions that reveal underlying structure and… SourceKönigsberg · Königsberg Read Article

Is Mathematics Mostly Chaos or Mostly Order?

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Last winter, at a meeting in the Finnish wilderness high above the Arctic Circle, a group of mathematicians gathered to contemplate the fate of a mathematical universe. It was minus 20 degrees Celsius, and while some went cross-country skiing, Juan Aguilera, a set theorist at the Vienna University of Technology, preferred to linger in the cafeteria, tearing pieces of pulla pastry and debating… SourceFinland · Finland Read Article

The Ecosystem Dynamics That Can Make or Break an Invasion

100% Center coverage: 2 sources

For decades, ecologists have puzzled over a mystery: Why do some natural habitats get overrun by invasive species while others seem to repel outside threats? In a classic 1958 book on the subject, the ecologist Charles Elton argued that an ecosystem with more species should be more resilient. In a diverse ecosystem, he wrote, so many species are already divvying up the available resources that… SourceSpecies · Cambridge See the Story

Is Gravity Just Entropy Rising? Long-Shot Idea Gets Another Look.

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his law of universal gravitation. For decades after publishing it in 1687, he sought to understand how, exactly, two objects were able to pull on each other from afar. He and others came up with several mechanical models, in which gravity was not a pull, but a push. For example, space might be filled with unseen particles that bombard the objects on all… Source See the Story

Does Form Really Shape Function?

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

What links a Möbius strip, brain folds and termite mounds? The answer is Harvard University’s L. Mahadevan, whose career has been devoted to using mathematics and physics to explore the form and function of common phenomena. Mahadevan, or Maha to his friends and colleagues, has long been fascinated by questions one wouldn’t normally ask — from the equilibrium shape of inert objects like a Möbius… SourceHarvard · Cambridge Read Article

Epic Effort to Ground Physics in Math Opens Up the Secrets of Time

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

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 were still plagued by debates about basic definitions — what is heat? how are molecules structured? — and Hilbert hoped that the formal logic of mathematics could provide guidance.

Physicists Set New World Record for Qubit Operation Accuracy

100% Center coverage: 6 sources

Physicists at the University of Oxford have set a new global benchmark for the accuracy of controlling a single quantum bit, achieving the lowest-ever error rate for a quantum logic operation—just 0.000015%, or one error in 6.7 million operations. This record-breaking result represents nearly an order of magnitude improvement over the previous benchmark, set by the same research group a decade ago.Technology · Oxford See the Story

First Map Made of a Solid’s Secret Quantum Geometry

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Famously, at the quantum scale, particles can be in multiple possible locations at once. A particle’s state spreads out like a wave, peaking where the particle is likely to be found. When you measure its position, this spread-out state, known as a wave function, transforms into a single definite location. The full shape of the wave function long evaded detection, since trying to measure it will… Source See the Story
