Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

Natural physical networks are continuous, three-dimensional objects, like the small mathematical model displayed here.

Kinetic theory and mathematical modelling have emerged as pivotal tools in analysing complex systems – ranging from biological entities and social interactions to financial markets. These methods ...

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -- A U.S. Army-funded researcher who developed a mathematical theory for complex systems such as networks, power grids and the human brain, received a prestigious ...

Recent years have seen an explosion in the use of mathematical models to integrate insights emerging from studies of the brain and behavior. This approach has been used to develop new theoretical ...

Veronika Koren talks about pursuing a theory of neural coding that doesn’t fit a simple narrative, and the resilience it took to see it through.

Set theory remains the fulcrum of modern mathematical foundations, providing the language and axiomatic structure upon which much of mathematics is built. Predominantly formulated through the ...

At the frontiers of theoretical physics, many of the most popular ideas have one thing in common: they begin from a mathematical framework that seeks to explain more things than our currently ...

The equal sign is the bedrock of mathematics. It seems to make an entirely fundamental and uncontroversial statement: These things are exactly the same. But there is ...

The Langlands program has inspired and befuddled mathematicians for more than 50 years. A major advance has now opened up new worlds for them to explore One of the biggest stories in science has been ...
