The world of mathematics is filled with marvelous mysteries. For many mathematicians ABC conjecture is possibly at the top of that list, stated Live Science. The problem is so confusing that even its ...

It's not easy to make sense of quantum-scale motion, but a new mathematical theory developed by scientists at Rice University and Oxford University could help—and may provide insight into improving a ...

Physicists know about the huge chasm between quantum physics and the theory of gravity. However, in recent decades, theoretical physics has provided some plausible conjecture to bridge this gap and to ...
