When the “M” in STEM stands for Mathematics and Mindfulness

Scientix

Picture provided by the author, attribution CC-B Y Mathematics is a crucial subject for every student as it provides a strong foundation for many other disciplines. However, many students struggle with mathematics due to a variety of reasons, including a lack of motivation, fear of failure, and negative attitudes towards the subject.

Plant polymers as plastic alternatives

Futurum

With these lessons learnt, the team is now setting up a company which will have the resources and flexibility to work with other companies on short timescales. One of the primary tasks for me is to order necessary supplies for the lab and maintain an organised inventory system to prevent any delays in research activities.

Modelling minds: can computers mimic human intelligence?

Futurum

For example, computers can perform thousands of calculations per second, meaning they can solve some mathematical problems far more quickly and accurately than humans. Understanding how the human brain functions so efficiently and flexibly remains one of the greatest mysteries of science. But does this mean they are smarter than us?

How can we detect and prevent brain injuries?

Futurum

Participants wear cutting-edge, flexible sensors which track how their heads move in different situations. For injuries resulting from blasts or explosions, the strain rate is extremely fast and brain cells will undergo primary injury, which is potentially the worst outcome. What are primary and secondary injuries?

Can AI Solve Science?

Stephen Wolfram

Three centuries ago science was transformed by the idea of representing the world using mathematics. And that’s for example why things like mathematical formulas have been able to be as successful in science as they have. Yes, there can be a lot of flexibility in this model. There’s a curious historical resonance to all this.

Morph with the wind: shape-changing buildings

Futurum

Buildings are also becoming taller and more flexible, as lighter building materials and more sophisticated designs are developed, but wind-induced vibrations only get stronger and more serious with height.

The Story Continues: Announcing Version 14 of Wolfram Language and Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

So many discoveries, so many inventions, so much achieved, so much learned. And key to everything we do is leveraging what we have already done—often taking what in earlier years was a pinnacle of technical achievement, and now using it as a routine building block to reach a level that could barely even be imagined before.
