Understanding how wounds heal after injury could be a step closer thanks to a new mathematical model developed by researchers at the University of Bristol. The study published in Physical Review ...

Mathematician Kevin Buzzard of Imperial College London is training computers how to prove one of the most famous problems in math history: Fermat’s last theorem. Resolving the problem isn’t the point.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) last week issued guidance that drops the requirement for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) sensors as part of a truck's aftertreatment system and allows truck ...

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Friday said it is dropping the requirement for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) sensors as part of a truck's aftertreatment system in favor of monitoring actual ...

A number of years ago, when I moved from California to the East Coast, I struggled to understand why the builders seemed to think so differently about their projects than I was used to. I expected the ...

In ancient Greece, Euclid showed that if you agree on a small list of preliminary principles, or axioms, you can use deductive reasoning to reveal all sorts of new mathematical truths. But although ...

Depending on who you ask, “DEF” might as well be a four-letter word. The acronym stands for diesel exhaust fluid, a solution that breaks down nitrogen oxides and significantly reduces emissions from ...

In March 2025, mathematician Daniel Litt made a bet. Despite the march of progress of artificial intelligence in many fields, he believed his subject was safe, wagering with a colleague that there was ...

Both explanations have their place in math instruction, but according to a large-scale 2025 study of upper elementary math instruction, the use of precise mathematical terminology may matter more than ...

“I’ve spent a long time exploring the crystalline beauty of traditional mathematics, but now I’m feeling an urge to study something slightly more earthy,” John Baez wrote on his blog in 2011. An ...
