The nonrepeating Smith hat tile created twisting, pinwheel-like light patterns that ordinary quasicrystals do not produce.

The “hat” tile is a mathematical wonder. Discovered by amateur mathematician David Smith in 2022, it can be used to cover every square inch of an endless bathroom floor (or any other surface) ...

When you follow Einstein’s math step by step, you enter a world where intuition starts to break down. His equations of relativity reveal that time slows down near massive objects, space itself bends ...

There’s an apocryphal story that still occasionally surfaces about how Albert Einstein flunked math in the fourth grade. That’s not true. But he did occasionally need help with his math. One time, ...

In 1905, a young patent clerk's four papers shook the world. The world's most famous equation E = mc2 emerged that year. But looking back, it only marked the initial performances of Einstein's ...

How much of a role did Albert Einstein's first wife play in the theory of relativity? In recent years, some historians have asserted that Einstein shared the credit for his research on the special ...
