Physicists have done a remarkable job explaining the chaos of the universe with well-behaved equations, but certain situations remain mysterious. Among these are collections of many tiny particles — ...

In recent years, the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm has been found to work more efficiently compared to other popular Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods (such as random walk ...

This maze of jagged curls looks like something out of the world’s hardest puzzle book. How fast do you think you can solve it? Stuck? Don’t worry. It’s actually more of a connect the dots puzzle. The ...

A group of scientists may have designed the world's most difficult maze. The maze, which is highlighted in a new study featured in Physical Review X, was designed using a series of different geometric ...
