The strange pattern hiding in a census of human cells When researchers set out to count every major type of cell in the human body, they expected a messy catalog, not a clean curve. Instead, after ...

Why do humans love to look at patterns? I can only guess, but I've written a whole book about new mathematical ways to make them. In Creating Symmetry, The Artful Mathematics of Wallpaper Patterns, I ...

The same researchers behind the 13-sided "hat" shape have stumbled upon a version that improves upon the original in a very important way. Reading time 2 minutes In March, a group of mathematicians ...

A Columbian College of Arts and Sciences professor used computational modeling to prove that human conflicts throughout history have a hidden pattern—a breakthrough that came to him while watching his ...

Video: This elegant model by Garrett Lisi may at last reveal the link between gravity and the other fundamental forces of nature GARRETT LISI is an unlikely individual to be staking a claim for a ...

What if the key to unlocking artificial general intelligence is a pattern that already exists, but has yet to be discovered? Artificial general intelligence, also referred to as “strong artificial ...

Music and mathematics might seem like unlikely bedfellows. One lives in the realm of feeling and expression, the other in cold logic and numbers. Yet scratch beneath the surface of history's most ...
