John Pardon won a Fields Medal for work in geometry that sheds a light on the nature of our Universe.
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.
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.
Why was the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season different from previous seasons? Early career researcher Charles Powell analysed the data, helping insurance company Inigo in the process.
Infectious diseases in hospitals cost lives and money. How can we best understand them?
Find out how deep learning can help improve the images produced by MRI, CT and PET scans, making patients more comfortable and cutting NHS waiting lists.
This year's Abel Prize has been awarded to the German mathematician Gerd Faltings for work that brings together number theory and geometry to solve equations.
Category theory, which has previously been described as "abstract nonsense" turns out to be just the language we need to describe materials that may help us build quantum computers. Find out more in this article.
