Stanford researchers have developed an innovative computer vision model that recognizes the real-world functions of objects, ...

After decades of exploration in nature’s smallest domains, physicists have finally found evidence that anyons exist. First predicted by theorists in the early 1980s, these particle-like objects only ...

Researchers have harnessed nonlocal artificial materials to create optical systems that emulate parallel spaces, wormholes, ...

Some scientists think quantum mechanics may be working in a lower-dimensional setting, giving us the illusion of our 3-dimensional universe. This idea changes the nature of our perceived reality, ...

In June of 1999, Sequoia Capital and Kleiner Perkins invested $25 million into an early-stage company developing a new search engine called Google, paving the way for a revolution in how knowledge ...

Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity has been wildly successful at describing how gravity works and how it shapes the large-scale structure of the universe. It’s summed up in a saying by the ...

Nearly 60 years ago computer scientist Ruth Weiss of Bell Labs published a pioneering algorithm to turn three-dimensional objects into two-dimensional drawings from any angle. But she ran into a ...

When most people think of shapes, they imagine a triangle, a rectangle, or maybe even a fancier- sounding rhombus or trapezoid. But to mathematicians, shapes encompass a vast universe of surprising ...
