An asteroid or a nuclear war can end the world. Mathematical musings from one’s armchair cannot. Birth rank seems to have no ...

This week's question comes from Morning Brief reader Eric, who asks, "I've heard that meteorologists use math to predict the weather. How does that work?" Meteorologist Jonathan Belles: Yes, ...

“Crystal Math” uses equations—and minimal resources—to rapidly predict the 3D structures of molecular crystals, which could speed up R&D for drugs and electronic devices Researchers at New York ...

Researchers have devised a mathematical approach to predict the structures of crystals -- a critical step in developing many medicines and electronic devices -- in a matter of hours using only a ...
