A breakthrough by a Pennsylvania State University student has breathed new life into a century-old aerodynamic equation, unlocking modern solutions for wind turbine performance and sustainable energy ...

Polish mathematician Bartosz Naskrecki, from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, is amazed as an AI program successfully ...

A game of chess requires its players to think several moves ahead, a skill that computer programs have mastered over the years. Back in 1996, an IBM supercomputer famously beat the then world chess ...

An undergraduate student at Penn State University discovered a new approach to a century-old problem, and in doing so made it easier for engineers to develop more efficient wind turbines. The real ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A young student has revamped a century-old math problem and unlocked a simple, yet elegant solution to optimize wind turbine flow ...

For over a century, a simple yet tricky math problem had continued to baffle experts. Mathematicians struggled to find the fewest number of pieces needed to cut an equilateral triangle and rearrange ...

In 1950 Edward Nelson, then a student at the University of Chicago, asked the kind of deceptively simple question that can give mathematicians fits for decades. Imagine, he said, a graph—a collection ...

A Penn State student refined a century-old math problem, originally published in 1935, that determines the optimal aerodynamic performance of a wind turbine. The student's work improves upon the ...

Mathematicians just made a big leap forward on one of the field’s all-time favorite problems. Curves—squiggly lines through space, such as a comet’s trajectory or a stock market trend—are some of math ...
