Although not a household scientific name like Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton, Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan—who tragically died in 1920 at the age of 32—was one of the greatest minds in ...

Estimating π with “fake circles” using Python. This short shows how to simulate the geometry, calculate the approximation step by step, and see how accuracy improves as the model gets refined. #Python ...

A new study finds that a century-old infinite series for calculating π discovered by Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan can be applied in other corners of physics. The study explained that ...

New research shows that advances in technology could help make future supercomputers far more energy efficient. Neuromorphic computers are modeled after the structure of the human brain, and researche ...

More than a century after Srinivasa Ramanujan scribbled his astonishing formulas for π in notebooks in India and England, physicists are finding that those same equations describe how nature behaves ...

The V-571.Z expands PI’s precision motion portfolio for photonics, semiconductor, optical alignment and metrology ...

Let's discuss four trends that will redefine how robots create value — from smarter math and cooperative behaviors to ...

Approach provides way for designers to assess losses in the driving bearing in compressors and optimize their efficiency ...

A recent attack on a ferry, in which an attacker reportedly plugged a tiny computer called a Raspberry Pi into the network in an attempt to break into the vessel’s operations, offers an important ...

Materials scientists from The Grainger College of Engineering have provided the first quantitative explanation for a phenomenon first observed in iron in the 1970s.

A research paper proposes a fully physically realized model for warp drive. This builds on an existing model that requires negative energy—an impossibility. The new model is exciting, but warp speed ...
