Computer scientists have long used vector addition systems to model how certain programs work, but they didn’t have a full understanding of how complicated they could be. Recent work has finally ...
A new proof about prime numbers illuminates the subtle relationship between addition and multiplication — and raises hopes ...
Mathematicians working in the field of complex dynamical systems are patiently unraveling the Mandelbrot set’s mysteries and may be on the verge of solving a fundamental conjecture that would allow ...

Though they live only a few hours before dividing, bacteria can anticipate the approach of cold weather and prepare for it.
Extremophiles, or microbes that live in the most seemingly hostile environments, are the darlings of astrobiologists, who study the potential for life beyond Earth. In this episode, co-host Janna ...
