Beschreibung: Any time he has an airport layover, neuroscientist Satchidananda Panda pulls out his cell phone, activates the light-meter app, and starts collecting data. To passersby, it probably looks like he’s trying to get a better mobile signal. But he’s really adding to the array of more than 100,000 data points...

Beschreibung: Quantum cryptography gears up to fight code-breaking quantum computers. Will the approach bolster security in the future, or is it fatally flawed? In October 2014, an Antares rocket blasted off from a NASA launch pad on one of Virginia’s barrier islands, and exploded seconds later. In addition to about 5,000...

Beschreibung: To most people, wallpaper is little more than a decorative background on a flat surface: Pleasing designs, pasted in vertical strips from wall to wall. But in the minds of mathematicians, the repetition of figures—coupled with the idea of covering 2D space—suggests a way to study the fundamental nature of...

But they also might inform...
