Mathematicians predicted that if they imposed enough restrictions on how a shape might tile space, they could force a periodic pattern to emerge. But they were wrong.
She Turns Fluids Into 'Black Holes' and 'Inflating Universes'
By THOMAS LEWTON
By using fluids to model inaccessible realms of the cosmos, Silke Weinfurtner is "looking for a deeper truth beyond one system." But what can such experiments teach us?
More Magma A new measurement of Yellowstone National Park's underground magma reservoirs reveals that they hold more than expected. But this doesn't mean Yellowstone is more likely to erupt, explains Robin George Andrews for The New York Times. "Hot spot tracks" like Yellowstone are thought to be caused by giant plumes that bring magma up from Earth's mantle. In 2021 Andrews wrote for Quanta about how the plumes' treelike structures are formed by complex dynamics in the mantle.
Who Will Build the First True Quantum Computer? The race for the first useful, "fault-tolerant" quantum computer is underway. For TheNew Yorker, Stephen Witt explains the premise and pitfalls of quantum computing, and describes the current state of the race. Quantum computing derives its capabilities from uniquely quantum properties like superposition and entanglement. In 2021 Scott Aaronson wrote for Quanta about why quantum computing is so hard to explain.
