Mathematical logic, set theory, lattices and universal algebra form an interconnected framework that underpins much of modern mathematics. At its heart, mathematical logic provides rigorous formal ...

Kinetic theory and mathematical modeling have emerged as indispensable tools for elucidating the collective behaviour of complex systems. This discipline applies statistical mechanics to a diverse ...

For the last 40 years, a dedicated group of theoretical physicists has been beavering away on an ambitious project to create a quantum theory of gravity and unify the four forces of nature. Using ...

String theory unifies all the forces of nature. Forces that seem very different, such as gravity and electricity, are deeply ...

At the turn of the century, it sounded as if string theory could give us big answers about the universe. Well… has it?

At the frontiers of theoretical physics, many of the most popular ideas have one thing in common: they begin from a mathematical framework that seeks to explain more things than our currently ...

Computer scientists in California have built a mathematical theory of surprise, working from first principles of probability theory applied to a digital environment, according to this news release ...

Video: This elegant model by Garrett Lisi may at last reveal the link between gravity and the other fundamental forces of nature GARRETT LISI is an unlikely individual to be staking a claim for a ...

Researchers are using chaos theory to 3D-print stunning pieces of jewelry. As Einstein himself said, "The greatest scientists are always artists as well." Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at ...
