Want facts and want them fast? Our Maths in a minute series explores key mathematical concepts in just a few words.
Teo tells us about his work in artificial intelligence, his travels around the world, and how inspiration sometimes strikes in the pub.
Clouds make the weather, yet their detail isn't taken into account in weather forecasts. Artificial intelligence might be able to help.
Predicting the weather is hard. With more data and computing power becoming available, artificial intelligence can help.
How does your phone know what the weather's going to be like?
How a little insect can cause chaos.
Physics teacher: both light and sound waves are subject to superposition.
This means that when considering what the total wave "looks" like, it might not always be a nice sinusoidal shape. For instance, when combining a wave with another wave twice its frequency, (a note plus its octave; deep red light and very violet light) the resultant wave approaches a sawtooth wave.
Also, although Wikipedia is not 100% reliable, it is a superb source. It is attended to by numerous experts, and typically explains topics excellently.
