Ramanujan's pi-computing machinery exactly mirrors the necessary structure in modern physical theories (LCFTs).

A new study reveals that Srinivasa Ramanujan’s century-old formulas for calculating pi unexpectedly emerge within modern theories of critical phenomena, turbulence, and black holes. In school, many of ...

IISc researchers connect Ramanujan’s century-old pi formulae with modern physics, uncovering surprising mathematical ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in ...

A radical new theory begins with a central claim: consciousness is the fundamental field of reality; time, space, and matter ...

Why did Ramanujan’s formulae stay relevant for a century? His set of 17 expressions offered huge speed. They gave long digit ...

Scientists at CERN spent the last decade waiting for a one-in-ten-billion chance event, and now they’ll spend the next few years figuring out whether it challenges the laws that (we think) govern the ...

Before Einstein, before Bohr, there was a Jesuit priest with a telescope and a startlingly modern vision of the universe.

In late 2008, a few onlookers believed that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) would bring the end of the world. Three years later, our planet remains intact, but the European particle smasher may have ...

Quick: What’s the difference between a quark and a gluon? Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli explains that and more in the most poetic book you’ll ever read about modern physics, his Seven Brief ...
