IQ tests aren't just about numbers and words—they’re also about how well your brain can identify patterns, process visual ...

For a long time, the Kakeya conjecture, which involves rotating an infinitely narrow needle, kept mathematicians ...

Micro decisions can have macro consequences. A soft matter physicist reveals how interactions within simple cellular ...

A new study finds that carrion crows can recognize geometrical shapes, a skill previously seen only in humans.

Math and computer science researchers have long known that some questions are fundamentally unanswerable. Now physicists are exploring how physical systems put hard limits on what we can predict.

That’s great practice in crossing the midline ... “Just copy the shape” – it’s simple, isn’t it? The problem is, it’s not simple. At all. It begins with visual perception ...

Deciphering where a publicly traded security may move to next is a deceptively difficult exercise. Especially when it comes ...

Mathematicians from New York University and the University of British Columbia have resolved a long-standing geometric problem known as the Kakeya conjecture ... I am expecting that their ideas will ...

IBM is collaborating with the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop an AI system that uses satellite data to monitor climate ...

A trio of animal physiologists at the University of Tübingen, in Germany, has found that at least one species of crow has the ability to recognize geometric regularity. In their study published in the ...
