140-year-old math problem solved by researcher
A problem which has defeated mathematicians for almost 140 years has been solved by a researcher at Imperial College London. view more (2008-03-04)
Mathematicians help unlock secrets of the immune system
A group of scientists, led by mathematicians, has taken on the challenge of building a common model of immune responses. view more (2007-10-10)
Quasicrystals: Somewhere between order and disorder
In new research that's available online and slated for publication in July's issue of the Journal of the American Mathematical Society, Damanik and colleague Serguei Tcheremchantsev offer a key proof in the study of quasicrystals, crystal-like materials whose atoms don't line up in neat, unbroken rows like the atoms found in crystals. view more (2007-05-24)
Mathematicians find way to improve medical scans
Mathematicians at the University of Liverpool have found that it is possible to gain full control of sound waves which could lead to improved medical scans, for technology such as ultra sound machines. view more (2008-01-08)
Non-collapsing knots could reveal secrets of the Universe
A computational trick that stops imaginary knots collapsing could help us understand how to unravel a loop of DNA or reveal the true nature of elementary particles, research published today suggests. view more (2002-03-22)
The mathematics of a lampshade
Try to solve the following maths problem: does x^3+y^2+1 produce the same form as x^3+3y^2+xy^2? For cubic equations, it’s possible to solve this problem, but mathematicians found things more difficult in the case of equations of the fourth order such as x^4+y^3+2y^2=3, a curve shaped like a lampshade. Eindhoven researchers, funded by NWO... view more... (2001-05-30)
Breakthrough in bubble research at Bath
A researcher from the University of Bath has found a new approach to an old geometric problem of modelling the most efficient way of packing shapes to form a foam. view more (2009-09-02)
Mathematicians maximize knowledge of minimal surfaces
Mathematicians have studied basic minimal surfaces for more than 250 years, and long ago understood their basic building blocks and how those fundamentals fit together to form a figure with the least surface area and high surface tension. view more (2006-08-16)
Traffic jam mystery solved by mathematicians
Mathematicians from the University of Exeter have solved the mystery of traffic jams by developing a model to show how major delays occur on our roads, with no apparent cause. view more (2007-12-19)
Ocean spray lubricates hurricane winds
Hurricane Emily's 140-mile-per-hour winds, which last week blew roofs off hotels and flattened trees throughout the Caribbean, owed their force to an unlikely culprit - ocean spray. view more (2005-07-26)
UW scientists unlock major number theory puzzle
Mathematicians have finally laid to rest the legendary mystery surrounding an elusive group of numerical expressions known as the "mock theta functions." view more (2007-02-28)
NYU's Courant part of team to resolve ancient mathematics problem
Mathematicians from North America, Europe, Australia, and South America have resolved the first one trillion cases of an ancient mathematics problem on congruent numbers. view more (2009-09-24)
Scientists prove that parts of cell nuclei are not arranged at random
The nucleus of a mammal cell is made up of component parts arranged in a pattern which can be predicted statistically, says new research published today. view more (2006-10-23)
Work Migration Of Russian Scientists
Who are the Russian scientists moving abroad to work in recent times? The problem is analyzed by the Centre for Demography and Human Ecology of the Institute of Economic Forecasting of the Russian Academy of Sciences. According to official sources in 2002, 2.9 thousands of Russian scientists from about 300 institutes go to work abroad. That... view more... (2004-07-19)
The Value of Variation: Ecologists Consider the Causes and Consequences
Consider the case of the three-spine stickleback. These tiny fish that thrive in oceans and in fresh water might appear to be the same, yet ecologists are finding that they are actually a diverse collection of very specialized individuals. view more (2009-07-23)
Invading black holes explain cosmic flashes
Black holes are invading stars, providing a radical explanation to bright flashes in the universe that are one of the biggest mysteries in astronomy today. view more (2009-09-21)
Mathematicians get a handle on centuries old shape
It has been almost 230 years since French general and mathematician Jean Meusnier's study of soap films - the same kind used by children today to blow bubbles - led to one of the fundamental mathematical examples in geometric optimization. view more (2005-11-01)
Mathematician uses topology to study abstract spaces, solve problems
Studying complex systems, such as the movement of robots on a factory floor, the motion of air over a wing, or the effectiveness of a security network, can present huge challenges. Mathematician Robert Ghrist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is developing advanced mathematical tools to simplify such tasks. view more (2006-08-16)
