Hannah Fry has won a Leelavati Prize for her creative and powerful approach to communicating that mathematics.
Segal has won a Chern Medal for his "visionary mathematical insights that have had an enduring influence in a wide range of fields."
John Pardon won a Fields Medal for work in geometry that sheds a light on the nature of our Universe.
What do sound waves, snow flakes and spinning needles have in common? The answer is the mathematics of Hong Wang, who has just won a Fields Medal at the 2026 ICM.
Yu Deng won a Fields Medal for work that addresses a grand mathematical dream.
Fields Medallist Wendelin Werner loves Brownian loop soups. In the second part of this article, we learn more about why they matter so much.
Fields Medallist Wendelin Werner loves Brownian loop soups. We explore what they are, why he finds them so "natural", and how they are linked to the physics of elementary particles.
Daniel Baumann will be treading in Hawking's legendary footsteps, pursuing a central question of the field: How did the Universe begin? Find out more in this article.
Causal inference is the art of discerning cause and effect from data. Find out more in this introduction.
RCTs are the gold standard when it comes to testing whether an intervention, such as a new medical drug, works.
Data can give us incredibly useful insight, but they can also mislead. Here's an example.
How do you discern cause and effect when you can't do a controlled experiment? Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) are a fun and important tool.
