Thinking diagrammatically as a way of conceptualizing our world has been in existence from the moment the first cave-person picked up a soft 'rock' and started making markings on the walls of his/her ...

When particle physicists try to model experiments, they confront an impossible calculation — an infinitely long equation that lies beyond the reach of modern mathematics. Fortunately, they can ...

At the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, physicists shoot protons around a 17-mile track and smash them together at nearly the speed of light. It’s one of the most finely tuned scientific experiments ...

An unexpected connection has emerged between the results of physics experiments and an important, seemingly unrelated set of numbers in pure mathematics. At the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, ...
