The quantum Hall effect is a curious phenomenon: not only does it make effects from quantum physics visible in the macroscopic world, it also links physics to the pure mathematical area of topology. Find out more in this article.
What does water feeding to ice have to do with symmetry? This article provides an answer and begins to tell the astonishing story of how theory once denounced as "abstract nonsense" may help us build quantum computers.
Gravitational waves have provided a wealth of information about black holes. But could other objects be hiding in this data too? Researchers are exploring this idea, which may also help resolve the mystery of dark matter.
How do mathematicians help policy makers make the best decisions?
We meet some of the researchers who are trying to translate between the two very different worlds of mathematics and politics.
We talk to Krieger about her work, sharing mathematics with wider audiences, and advice for young mathematicians
The mathematics of the future needs more specialist maths teachers, stronger university provision, and sustained research funding.
A digital heart might sound like science fiction, but these personalised mathematical descriptions of patients' hearts are already being put to the test.
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.
In this episode of Living Proof we talk to a playwright and a physicist about a book they have written together on the marvellous but tricky theory of quantum mechanics!
