Mathematicians are “reinventing the wheel” by giving it a new shape. Their newly imagined wheel looks like a many-dimensional guitar pick, and it could theoretically roll in ways beyond our ...

Sure, you can cut a pie into pieces, but what if it’s in four dimensions? Using spectral graph theory, mathematicians have solved a decades-old problem. Graph theory uses nodes and edges (dots and ...

A 400-year-old mathematical puzzle concerning the most efficient way to pack spheres in eight dimensions has been solved by ...
