How confident is the Large Language Model chatbot that its answers are correct? And how confident can we be about this confidence? This article investigates.
Can topological data analysis create a revolution in the life sciences?
Find out about a pioneering new project which builds mathematical models together with the people who are affected by them.
Want to expand your horizon? Then discover one of the hardest problems in algebraic topology which has only recently been solved: the Kervaire invariant problem.
We continue our journey towards a proof of the Kervaire invariant problem.
Find out how random shapes shed light on one of the hardest problems in physics.
A story from geometry shows how developments in mathematics have fundamentally changed the way we think about the world around us.
We can't visualise it, but we can still think about it! And there are clever ways of glimpsing what it might look like.
A new language to talk about quantum physics is making calculations a whole lot easier.
The Abel Prize 2025 has been awarded to Masaki Kashiwara for contributions to algebraic analysis and representation theory. Find out what this means with our article!
This article explores this most beautiful of numbers. Find out its definition, why its value can only ever be approximated, what it has to do with waves, and why it contains the history of the Universe.
