Divide any circle’s circumference by its diameter and you get pi. But what, exactly, are its digits? Measuring physical ...

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 ...

This day only comes 'round' once every year!

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 ...

Physicists are now using principles from quantum mechanics to build a new model of the abstract concept of pi. Or, more accurately, they built a new model that happens to include a great new ...
