Prime numbers have captivated mathematicians for centuries with their unpredictable and seemingly random distribution. In a groundbreaking preprint study, researchers devised a novel method that ...

A new algorithm brings together the advantages of randomness and deterministic processes to reliably construct large prime numbers.

A new proof has brought mathematicians one step closer to understanding the hidden order of those “atoms of arithmetic,” the prime numbers. The primes — numbers that are only divisible by themselves ...

The proof creates stricter limits on potential exceptions to the famous Riemann hypothesis.
