Virtual particles may not be real, but they help physicists track how forces move, and allow for incredibly precise measurements in particle physics.
The amplituhedron, a shape at the heart of particle physics, appears to be deeply connected to the mathematics of paper folding.
Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if ...
