“Crystal Math” uses equations—and minimal resources—to rapidly predict the 3D structures of molecular crystals, which could speed up R&D for drugs and electronic devices. Researchers at New York ...

Termite mounds are remarkable structures that regulate temperature, balance airflow, and maintain structural stability in ...

Excerpted from “Teaching Math to English Learners” by Adrian Mendoza with Tina Beene. Published by Seidlitz Education, 2022. Embracing academic conversations in the math classroom becomes routine when ...

A simple mathematical model predicts the development of cultural structures observed in human societies Figure 1: Bonds with in-laws play a role in the development of complex social structures known ...

When particle physicists try to model experiments, they confront an impossible calculation — an infinitely long equation that lies beyond the reach of modern mathematics. Fortunately, they can ...

Materials scientists lead a project to turn strong, light and compressible schwarzites from theory to reality with three-dimensional printers. The resulting materials share their properties from the ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in school, where we learn about its use in the context of a circle. More ...
