Intuition breaks down once we’re dealing with the endless. To begin with: Some infinities are bigger than others.

Henry Yuen is developing a new mathematical language to describe problems whose inputs and outputs aren’t ordinary numbers.

one of the leading interpretations of quantum theory are very convincing. They ask us to believe, for example, that the world we experience is fundamentally divided from the subatomic realm it’s built ...

An exploration of how mathematicians are still renovating and rebuilding the core pillars of their field today.

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

The V-JEPA system uses ordinary videos to understand the physics of the real world.

Take a jaunt through a jungle of strange neurons underlying your sense of touch, hundreds of millions of years of animal evolution and the dense neural networks of brains and AIs. Mixing Is the ...

“Anomalous” heat flow, which at first appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics, gives physicists a way to detect quantum entanglement without destroying it. Analog vs. Digital: The Race Is ...

Descriptive set theorists study the niche mathematics of infinity. Now, they’ve shown that their problems can be rewritten in the concrete language of algorithms.
