What makes plants grow to a certain size? From the tiniest cells to whole leaves, roots, and stems, growth has to be ...

If you’re really good, it’s possible to solve a Rubik’s Cube in under 10 seconds. For the rest of us, though, it can be an exceedingly tedious task. For that reason, you might ...

It's a well-known fact that quantum calculations are difficult, but one would think that quantum computers would facilitate the process. In most cases, this is true.

For over a decade, mathematicians have failed to agree whether a 500-page proof is actually correct. Now, translating the ...

Re: “Seattle residents report encampments in record numbers” (Oct. 3, Project Homeless): Regarding this heartbreaking news, may we please identify and commit to solving the root problems that lead to ...

Through a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship, Jenny Quan is exploring the mathematical principles behind Rubik's cubes.

The researchers discovered that this separation proves remarkably clean. In a preprint paper released in late October, they ...

Years ago, no math education was complete without understanding how to compute a square root. Today, you are probably just ...

Black folks —and women in particular — are familiar with the exhausting process of getting our hair braided, or worse, receiving a “Hey girl” text from our stylists, meaning our hair’s not getting ...
