For decades, cosmologists have had an awkward number sitting at the center of their equations. The universe is expanding, and ...

The cosmological constant has been a problem in physics since Einstein, but new research may show why it takes the value that ...

To many in the United States, advanced forms of mathematics are a terrifying maze of numbers, symbols, graphs, and hypotheticals that render our world more complex than simple observations would ...

Professor Adam Sikora is helping advance and popularize the growing field of quantum topology, which connects topology and geometry with quantum physics through surprising cross-fertilization of ideas ...

With a newly discovered mathematical tool, researchers are hoping to gain unprecedented insight into the structure of complex ...

The Department of Mathematics (www.math.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites applications for the above-mentioned positions. We are looking for two mathematicians with a focus on algebra, geometry, or ...

Topology has journeyed from the purely mathematical arena to feature throughout physics. In the mid-twentieth century, George Gamow remarked that only number theory and topology had no application to ...
