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 ...

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

Discover how Ramanujan's century-old pi formulas connect to modern cosmology and turbulent fluid physics in groundbreaking ...

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

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

BENGALURU: Everyone has studied the irrational number π (pi) in school and wondered what is its use in modern day life.

One hundred years ago, Albert Einstein had only just published his revolutionary new theory of gravity, atomic nuclei were entirely mysterious, and quantum “theory” was a tissue of guesswork.

Discoveries in science do not just revolutionize science, but can also exert a deep and lasting impact on the visual arts and on literature. One famous example is the effect that Galileo’s telescopic ...
