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 ...

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 ...

An unexpected anomaly is only as disruptive as the framework it challenges, and in modern physics that framework is a ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...
