Mothers Who Fear Math Pass It On To Kids, Says Sunak-Murty Charity Study
Mothers tend to pass on their own anxiety over mathematics to their daughters, creating a gender gap of confidence in the subject over time, new research has discovered.

Generative AI Produces Only Average-Level Creative Work: Study
A new study in the Journal of Creative Behaviour finds that generative AI systems like ChatGPT have a mathematical limit on creativity, restricting them to amateur-level performance.

Are We Living In A Simulation? Here's What Scientists Have Said
In their study, they identified what they called "Godelian truths", truths that cannot be defined by any algorithm or fixed rules.

Study Reveals Growing Use of ChatGPT in Scientific Papers Across Multiple Disciplines
Researchers have tracked a significant increase in the use of ChatGPT in scientific writing, especially in computer science and competitive research fields. By analyzing over a million papers, they found patterns linked to author habits, paper length, and geography. The findings raise broader discussions about the role of AI in research and the int...

Are Boys Better At Math Than Girls? Study Dissects Stereotypes
The study noted that gender disparities in maths are thought to primarily reflect an "internalisation of the sociocultural stereotype that 'girls are bad at maths'".

New Black Hole Theory Challenges Singularity: What You Need to Know
A new study has put forward a black hole model that eliminates the central singularity, a concept that has long troubled physicists. Researchers suggest modifying Einstein’s field equations to prevent mathematical values from reaching infinity at a black hole’s core. This approach could reshape our understanding of gravity, black holes, and eve...

Quantum Research Reveals Time May Not Always Move Forward
A new study on quantum systems suggests time might not always move forward. Researchers found that time-reversal symmetry persists in open quantum systems, challenging the traditional notion of a single directional arrow of time. The mathematical framework behind these interactions indicates that fundamental equations do not impose a distinction be...

Physicists Discover Singularities-Free Black Holes Using Pure Gravity
Physicists at ICCUB have mathematically proven that black holes can form without singularities, eliminating the need for exotic matter. The study, published in Physics Letters B, demonstrates that higher-order gravitational corrections alone can generate regular black holes. This breakthrough challenges previous models and provides new insights int...

New Study Uses Math to Decode Creativity and Idea Formation
A new study published in Nature Communications explores the mathematical foundations of creativity. Researchers introduced a model called Edge-Reinforced Random Walk with Triggering (ERRWT) to simulate how new ideas emerge by combining familiar elements. By analysing music habits, literature, and scientific papers, the study found that while discov...

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...
