Turbulence is one of the least understood phenomena of the physical world. Long considered too hard to understand and predict mathematically, turbulence is the reason the Navier-Stokes equations, ...

It took 125 years, but in 2025 a team of mathematicians discovered the solution to a long-puzzling problem about the ...

Sharks follow a mathematical law regarding their size. A recent study uses 3D models to explore this biological rule. The research, published in Royal Society Open Science, reveals that sharks adhere ...

Scientists have developed a mathematical law to explain the size distribution of earthquakes, even in the cases of large-scale earthquakes such as those which occurred in Sumatra (2004) and in Japan ...

In the past two decades, many state governments have enacted voter identification requirements for constituents voting in their state, requiring a photo ID or other significant proof to access a ...

Researchers from the Santa Fe Institute (SFI) have published a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) detailing the mathematical laws of forest complexity. Their ...

For some people, all math problems are difficult. But for computer scientists, most math problems are easy. The computer does all the work. Sometimes, though, problems come along that even computers ...

Zipf's law in its simplest form, as formulated in the thirties by American linguist George Kingsley Zipf, states surprisingly that the most frequently occurring word in a text appears twice as often ...
