There are many purposes that spots and stripes serve in nature, but how they form has been more of a mystery to scientists.

IBM (IBM): The superconducting-qubit leader is now pushing for an algorithmic edge that reduces cost on hard math. Alphabet/Google ( GOOGL ): Its quantum AI division just hit breakthrough error- ...

1. Fast and Slow Piles. This works well as a starting or closing activity. Students sort math fact cards into fast and slow piles. This visual way of tracking facts highlights which facts come ...

Examining mistakes gives students a chance to discuss misconceptions openly and find new approaches to solving problems.

This same principle applies to education: If students never meet resistance from mistakes, they fail to develop the ...

Scientists ‘draw’ crystal patterns using laser light. Call it a jazzed-up version of your childhood crystal-growing kit.

The constant refrain in recent years has been that homeownership is out of reach for many. Between housing costs rising, obstacles with insurance, and inflation not slowing down, young people are ...

It began as a strange discovery buried in chaos theory — a mathematical pattern that seemed to predict real events before they happened. From climate shifts to stock market crashes, scientists now ...

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 ...

New world records in some sports are remarkably elusive, yet in others they seem to fall regularly, as Armand Duplantis's extraordinary pole vault recently demonstrated. Looking to records in other ...
