While building a simpler model for particle interactions, scientists made a sleek new pi. Representations of pi help scientists use values close to real life without storing a million digits. The ...

Science often isn’t a bold “Eureka!,” a shout that that is loudly proclaimed after decades of painstaking research. Rather, many times, it begins with a “Huh, that’s funny,” and it ends someplace ...
