Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Have you ever lain awake at 3 AM, staring at the ceiling, wrestling with a thought so profound it makes your brain hurt? These aren't just ordinary ...

During AY2025-2026 the CUNY Office of Research funded 16 Research in the Classroom (RIC) grants for faculty to incorporate authentic research activities into their undergraduate courses. This ...

Around a quarter of Hillsdale College seniors pursue further education within six months of graduating, according to survey data. While class rigor and a lack of grade inflation may cause some to ...

So, you’re wondering which programming language is the absolute hardest to learn in 2026? It’s a question that pops up a lot, ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

In this simulation, 66 of the 100 needles crossed a line (you can count ’em). Using this number, we get a value of pi at 3.0303—which is not 3.14—but it's not terrible for just 100 needles. With ...

Divide any circle’s circumference by its diameter and you get pi. But what, exactly, are its digits? Measuring physical ...

A 2006 conference for physicists in the U.S. Virgin Islands that included a trip to Jeffrey Epstein's private island shows ...

In the part on Fourier analysis, we discuss pointwise convergence results, summability methods and, of course, convergence in the quadratic mean of Fourier series. More advanced topics include a first ...
