As the Delta variant is worrying the UK, researchers from the JUNIPER consortium have published all they know about it.
The mathematical equations governing fluid flow may have no known solutions, but maths still has the answers!
How do you calculate your risk of catching an airborne disease?
Imagine a world without computer errors. Tony Hoare, inventor of the famous Quicksort algorithm, is working on making it possible.
Next month sees the 60th birthday of a famous algorithm called Quicksort. We explore its origin, its workings, and some other work of its inventor Tony Hoare.
