[:es]The Secret Math Behind Mind-Reading Magic Tricks[:]

Four puzzle solutions reveal different ways to divine someone’s hidden number with impossibly little information.

[:es]Physicists Rewrite the Fundamental Law That Leads to Disorder[:]

The second law of thermodynamics is among the most sacred in all of science, but it has always rested on 19th century arguments about probability. New arguments trace its true source to the flows of quantum information.

[:es]Mathematicians Coax Fluid Equations Into Nonphysical Solutions[:]

The famed Navier-Stokes equations can lead to cases where more than one result is possible, but only in an extremely narrow set of situations.

[:es]Secrets of the Moon’s Permanent Shadows Are Coming to Light[:]

Robots are about to venture into the sunless depths of lunar craters to investigate ancient water ice trapped there, while remote studies find hints about how water arrives on rocky worlds.

[:es]Elegant Six-Page Proof Reveals the Emergence of Random Structure[:]

Two young mathematicians have astonished their colleagues with a full proof of the Kahn-Kalai conjecture — a sweeping statement about how structure emerges in random sets and graphs.

[:es]Which Computational Universe Do We Live In?[:]

Cryptographers want to know which of five possible worlds we inhabit, which will reveal whether truly secure cryptography is even possible.

[:es]Deep Learning Poised to ‘Blow Up’ Famed Fluid Equations[:]

For centuries, mathematicians have tried to prove that Euler’s fluid equations can produce nonsensical answers. A new approach to machine learning has researchers betting that “blowup” is near.
