(Nanowerk Spotlight) As our digital devices handle increasingly complex computations, scientists have looked to physics for inspiration on new computing paradigms. Rather than shuttling electrical ...

That's right — Day 2 of Short Wave's Favorite Episodes Week is pure math goodness! In this encore episode, we revisit a conversation with mathematician Ranthony Edmonds. She reminds us that the idea ...

In theory, almost any aspect of the physical world can be modeled and analyzed mathematically. In practice though, performing the mathematical manipulations required to perform an analysis can rapidly ...

Plurisubharmonic functions form a central tool in the study of several complex variables, offering a robust framework for analysing complex phenomena via potential theory. These functions, which are ...

Researchers developed a machine-learning technique that uses an image to estimate the stresses and strains acting on a material. The advance could accelerate engineers' design process by eliminating ...

You can probably think of a time when you’ve used math to solve an everyday problem, such as calculating a tip at a restaurant or determining the square footage of a room. But what role does math play ...
