Published Algorithms improve how we protect our data
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists have developed algorithms that more efficiently measure how difficult it would be for an attacker to guess secret keys for cryptographic systems. The approach could reduce the computational complexity needed to validate encryption security.
Published Silicon could be a photonics game-changer
(via sciencedaily.com) New research has shown that silicon could be one of the most powerful materials for photonic informational manipulation - opening up new possibilities for the production of lasers and displays.
Published Auxin makes the spirals in gerbera inflorescences follow the Fibonacci sequence
(via sciencedaily.com) The meristem of the gerbera is patterned on the molecular level already at a stage where no primordia or other changes are discernible by even an electron microscope.
Published Basketball Mathematics scores big at inspiring kids to learn
(via sciencedaily.com) New study with 756 1st through 5th graders demonstrates that a six-week mashup of hoops and math has a positive effect on their desire to learn more, provides them with an experience of increased self-determination and grows math confidence among youth.
Published Do school-based interventions help improve reading and math in at-risk children?
(via sciencedaily.com) School-based interventions that target students with, or at risk of, academic difficulties in kindergarten to grade 6 have positive effects on reading and mathematics, according to a new article.
Published Big data tells story of diversity, migration of math's elite
(via sciencedaily.com) Research uses artificial intelligence to map connections between the world's top mathematicians.
Published Sum of cubes: New math solution for 3
(via sciencedaily.com) After cracking the 'sum of cubes' puzzle for 42, mathematicians discover a new solution for 3.
Published Laser system generates random numbers at ultrafast speeds
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists have developed a system that can generate random numbers over a hundred times faster than current technologies, paving the way towards faster, cheaper, and more secure data encryption in today's digitally connected world.
Published The Ramanujan Machine: Researchers develop 'conjecture generator'
(via sciencedaily.com) Using AI and computer automation, researchers have developed a 'conjecture generator' that creates mathematical conjectures, which are considered to be the starting point for developing mathematical theorems.
Published Researchers use deep learning to identify gene regulation at single-cell level
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers describe how they developed a deep-learning framework to observe gene regulation at the cellular level.
Published Traditional model for disease spread may not work in COVID-19
(via sciencedaily.com) A mathematical model that can help project the contagiousness and spread of infectious diseases like the seasonal flu may not be the best way to predict the continuing spread of the novel coronavirus, especially during lockdowns that alter the normal mix of the population.
Published To the brain, reading computer code is not the same as reading language
(via sciencedaily.com) Neuroscientists have found reading computer code does not rely on the regions of the brain involved in language processing. Instead, it activates the 'multiple demand network,' which is also recruited for complex cognitive tasks such as solving math problems or crossword puzzles.
Published Quantum magic squares
(via sciencedaily.com) The magic of mathematics is particularly reflected in magic squares. Recently, quantum physicists and mathematicians introduced the notion of the quantum magic square, and for the first time studied in detail the properties of this quantum version of magic squares.
Published A biochemical random number
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists have generated a huge true random number using DNA synthesis. It is the first time that a number of this magnitude has been created by biochemical means.
Published Computer scientists launch counteroffensive against video game cheaters
(via sciencedaily.com) Computer scientists have devised a new weapon against video game players who cheat. The researchers developed their approach for detecting cheaters using the popular first-person shooter game Counter-Strike. But the mechanism can work for any massively multiplayer online (MMO) game that sends data traffic to a central server.
Published Random effects key to containing epidemics
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists have discovered why dividing a large population into multiple subpopulations that do not intermix can help contain outbreaks without imposing contact restrictions within those local communities.
Published A new method for directed networks could help multiple levels of science
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers reveal a new method for analyzing hierarchies in complex networks and illustrate it by applications to economics, language and gene expression.
Published Battery-free Game Boy runs forever
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers develop first-ever battery-free, energy-harvesting, interactive device. And it looks and feels like a retro 8-bit Nintendo Game Boy.
Published Revolutionary quantum breakthrough paves way for safer online communication
(via sciencedaily.com) The world is one step closer to having a totally secure internet and an answer to the growing threat of cyber-attacks, thanks to a team of international scientists who have created a unique prototype which could transform how we communicate online.
Published Skat and poker: More luck than skill?
(via sciencedaily.com) Chess requires playing ability and strategic thinking; in roulette, chance determines victory or defeat, gain or loss. But what about skat and poker? Are they games of chance or games of skill in game theory? This classification also determines whether play may involve money. Economists have studied this question and developed a rating system similar to the Elo system used for chess.
