The efficacy of vaccines is estimated from trials, using statistical techniques.

Because the vaccine may not stop transmission of the virus.

Yes the approved vaccines are safe. If you balance the risks, then taking the vaccine is much safer than taking your chances with COVID-19.

Holly Krieger has won a Whitehead Prize for work that combines number theory and dynamical systems.

Maria Bruna has won a Whitehead Prize for finding a systematic way of simplifying complex systems.

Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez win the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for their work on black holes.

What can maths tell us about how to make universities safe from COVID-19?

How can we all get back to work safely in the face of a lingering pandemic?

We explore some problems physics as we know it has trouble dealing with and a new theory that may provide answers.

Information is supremely powerful, yet it can't be described by traditional physics. Constructor theory provides a potential answer.

We all now know about R, but sometimes it can be good to consider another number: the growth rate of an epidemic.
