A lattice may seem like a simple regular grid of points, but it leads to fascinating new research in maths and cryptography!
Quantum computing often grabs the headlines. The word "quantum" itself is intriguing enough, but what exactly is quantum computing?
Ingenious maths keeps your credit card details safe when you shop online and underlies the security of the internet. Find out how in this easy introduction.
The process of diffusion has been studied for centuries. But reserachers have recently begun to study a competing process – anti-diffusion. Find out more in this collection of content from a recent research programme at the INI.
Researchers from different fields recently came together to improve our understanding of anti-diffusion, the process behind the distinct bands of Jupiter, that also plays a role in our oceans and in developing plasma fusion reactors.
Whenever you smell the lovely smell of fresh coffee or drop a tea bag into hot water you're benefiting from diffusion. Find a quick introduction to the concept here.
