The “pinball” model of a slipping fault line borrows from the mathematics of avalanches.
The legendary mathematician, who died on April 11, was curious, colorful and one of the greatest problem-solvers of his generation.
The first official evidence of a key imbalance between neutrinos and antineutrinos provides one of the best clues for why the universe contains something rather than nothing.
A landmark proof in computer science has also solved an important problem called the Connes embedding conjecture. Mathematicians are working to understand it.
