Researchers from EPFL explain how the shapes of neurons can be classified using mathematical methods from the field of algebraic topology.

Can a perfect circle exist? Mathematically speaking, of course. A circle is a collection of points equidistant from a fixed center point, and a simple equation can tell us whenever a shape meets this definition.

For News Media. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - × - A sheet of tiny swimming organisms that "push" themselves through fluid with, say, flagella, create forces in the liquid that bend the sheet in asymmetric, shrinking folds.

A mathematician from the University of Bristol has found a solution to part of a 64-year old mathematical problem - expressing the number 33 as the sum of three cubes. Since the 1950s, mathematicians have wondered if all whole numbers could be expressed as the sum of three cubes; whether the equation k = x³+ y³+ z³ always has a solution.
