Hoang Pham has spent his career trying to ensure that some of the world’s most critical systems don’t fail, including ...

New research shows that advances in technology could help make future supercomputers far more energy efficient. Neuromorphic computers are modeled after the structure of the human brain, and researche ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex mathematical problems that underpin scientific and engineering challenges.

UC San Diego is trying to solve a math problem. The university said a growing number of students are starting their freshman year lacking high school math proficiency. KPBS reporter Jacob Aere says ...

Life gets busy, and sometimes those basic math skills from school days get a little rusty. Whether you're budgeting, measuring for a DIY project, or just having a math-related brain teaser thrown your ...

There weren’t calculators or computers in medieval Europe. But there were math duels. Mathematicians would gather in public squares and pose tricky math problems to each other. Then they raced to ...

Washington has an urgent math problem. Nearly one in three students cannot demonstrate basic grade-level skills, and among low-income students it’s almost one in two. In a state that prides itself on ...

In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

In what can be a lonely field for women even during the best of times, Marisol Hernández’s first year in engineering school coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, when classes were held remotely rather ...

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...
