Mathematicians are “reinventing the wheel” by giving it a new shape. Their newly imagined wheel looks like a many-dimensional guitar pick, and it could theoretically roll in ways beyond our ...
For all of the recent strides we’ve made in the math world—like a supercomputer finally solving the Sum of Three Cubes problem that puzzled mathematicians for 65 years—we’re forever crunching ...
Chinese maths star Wang Hong has emerged as a leading contender for the 2026 Fields Medal after solving the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture, a century-old problem in geometric measure theory.
