Researchers are using chaos theory to 3D-print stunning pieces of jewelry. As Einstein himself said, "The greatest scientists are always artists as well." Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at ...

Can physics predict the future? This video explores the fundamental predictability of the universe through the lens of Newton ...

Predicting the impact of a scientific discovery is a lot like predicting the weather. You never know what obscure paper in the scientific literature (or small disturbance in the atmosphere) will ...

Math is a cool way for us to understand the world we live in. And to that end Business Insider recently spoke with Steven Strogatz, the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cornell ...

It began as a strange discovery buried in chaos theory — a mathematical pattern that seemed to predict real events before they happened. From climate shifts to stock market crashes, scientists now ...

A team of Italian scientists has figured out a way to turn the striking, complex twisting shapes of chaos theory into actual jewelry, according to a new paper published in the journal Chaos. These ...

The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has awarded the 2014 Abel Prize to Russian-born mathematical physicist Yakov Sinai of Princeton University in New Jersey. The award cites his “fundamental ...

A little over half a century ago, chaos started spilling out of a famous experiment. It came not from a petri dish, a beaker or an astronomical observatory, but from the vacuum tubes and diodes of a ...

When the Academy Award winning song “Let it Go” sings about snowflakes as “frozen fractals”, it is calling to mind a mathematical concept closely linked to the idea of “chaos”. I found myself thinking ...
