Mathematicians Revive Discarded Particles to Boost Quantum Computing
A new mathematical approach has revived previously ignored particles, now called neglectons, and shown how they can work with Ising anyons. By filling in the missing functions of these quasiparticles, neglectons could overcome key limits in topological quantum computing and help build more stable, universal quantum computers in the future.

Mathematicians Uncover Science Behind Hula Hooping and Body Dynamics
Mathematicians at New York University have delved into the science behind hula hooping, revealing that body shape plays a crucial role in maintaining the hoop's motion against gravity. Through experiments using miniature robotic models with different body shapes, the team demonstrated that specific physical attributes—such as sloping hips and a c...

Virginia Tech Mathematicians Use Algebraic Geometry to Reduce Data Centre Energy Use
Researchers at Virginia Tech have applied algebraic geometry to improve energy efficiency in data centres. By using advanced polynomials and error-correcting codes, they have developed a new method for data storage and retrieval that reduces the need for excessive data replication and energy-intensive searching. This approach helps address the grow...
