Can adding every positive whole number really give you -1/12? We explore how physicists extract meaningful finite values from infinite sums, and how this strange mathematical tech ...

Meta AI mathematics open problems got a new answer on October 2, 2026: six papers co-authored by mathematicians and Muse ...

An unexplained high-energy neutrino detected three years ago could be linked to a primordial black hole, perhaps one more even unusual than previously thought ...

Duke's 13-ion experiment completes a trio of string-breaking results across three quantum platforms. Here is what it proves ...

In quantum field theory, spontaneous particle formation can occur when the potential energy between two elementary particles increases with their separation, as if they were confined by a string. When ...

Using a trapped-ion quantum simulator, physicists discovered that particle strings break from the edges inward.

Quantum simulation of particle physics reached a milestone this week: IBM, Duke, and QuEra quantum computers each independently ran real-time gluon string-breaking, the process that creates every ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story: Time might actually have 3 dimensions. But it also means that the space would actually be one-dimensional, instead of the three dimensions we’re familiar with.

The Ascend open-source communities now offer partners and developers access to shared 10k-NPU-scale compute resources, accelerating innovation from development to deployment and fostering a thriving ...

String theory is the idea that the building blocks of nature are made up of tiny, one-dimensional strings of energy rather than point particles. According to the theory, these strings vibrate at ...
