Canada’s rivers have powered industry, cities and communities for more than a century. The next challenge is to use water ...

Dylan Kane likes his math curriculum. But there’s one important piece missing, he says. The 7th grade math teacher in Leadville, Colo., uses a program that teaches math skills through real-world ...

Most prosthetic hands today still struggle with a fundamental problem: No two amputees are the same, yet most devices are designed as if they are. That mismatch makes natural, intuitive control ...

Last week, I introduced Emmy Noether, an extraordinary figure in the fields of mathematics and physics. To understand Noether ...

It’s a regrettable reality that there is never enough time to cover all the interesting scientific stories we come across. So ...

How Emmy Noether's theorem uses the Lagrangian to provide a formula for calculating the quantity of symmetries in a ...

Anupam Ojha, a postdoctoral fellow at the Flatiron Institute, develops advanced statistical frameworks to bridge the gap ...

We turned it into a culture war. Apparently, gravity now has a political affiliation. Welcome to twenty-first century America ...

More than 20% of the workload on the world's 500 fastest supercomputers is spent simulating how atoms and molecules move—with applications ranging from material design to identifying drug interactions ...

In this video, we provide essential "math help" by explaining how to "graph" functions, beginning with a basic cosine wave and then moving on to a piecewise function. This "math tutorial" demonstrates ...

Using a conventional computer and cutting-edge mathematical tools and code, physicists at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ) at the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute and ...

Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects. By introducing ...
