  1. As of yesterday, June 9th, 2026, the asteroid 1996 PX8 has been officially named after our colleague and friend, Angel Jorba.

    Angel was a mentor, a brilliant colleague, and a dear friend to most of us. This is a small tribute to honor his memory and his lasting legacy. 🌌✨

  3. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are artificial intelligence models pre-programmed with fundamental physical laws to accurately predict how quickly controlled-release materials will dispense therapeutic agents.

  5. The rate-mismatch hypothesis posits that global mass extinctions occur when the pace of environmental change outstrips the rate at which biological life can undergo evolutionary adaptation. It provides a mathematical model linking Earth's historic extinction events to the critical disparities between environmental shifts and species' adaptive capabilities.

  7. Frenet–Serret Formula ✍️

    It explains how a curve reveals its hidden geometry by tracking the way it bends and twists through space. Imagine tracing the path of a roller coaster, a winding river, or the spiral of a DNA strand. At every point along the path, the curve is constantly changing direction, and the Frenet–Serret formulas provide a precise way to describe that change.

    They do this by attaching a moving frame of three special directions to each point on the curve. The first points forward along the path, showing where the curve is heading. The second points inward, toward the direction of bending. The third stands perpendicular to both, capturing how the curve twists out of its plane. Together, they form a local coordinate system that travels with the curve itself.

    As you move along the curve, these three directions rotate and evolve. The formulas measure this evolution using two key quantities: curvature and torsion. Curvature tells how sharply the path bends, while torsion tells how strongly it twists into three dimensions. If curvature vanishes, the path becomes straight; if torsion vanishes, the curve lies flat in a plane.

    Mathematicians and physicists use the Frenet–Serret formulas to study motion, design smooth paths in engineering, understand particle trajectories, and analyze natural shapes. They transform a simple line into a rich geometric story, revealing exactly how space is being navigated at every step.

  9. Researchers have developed a novel mathematical model that treats biological tissue as a fluid composed of elongated, aligned particles to explain how surrounding cellular forces influence the speed and shape of wound closure. The model demonstrates that the structural orientation of cells around a wound actively dictates healing dynamics.

  11. Cut a Möbius strip down the middle. Expecting two pieces, you get one, longer, with twice as many twists. The more you try to separate knowing from making – theory from practice, template from floor – the more surface there is to walk.

  13. July 2024. A terrace in Istria. Tiles half-laid, some already fixed, a template that doesn't match the floor, an unanswered voice call from Brussels. 480 limestone pieces, CNC-cut from a shape proven mathematically a few months before. One constraint: no tile can be flipped.

    Three months, a long hot summer to find out if the pattern held.

  24. Look guys, in 1999 Bill Schelter released the DOE version of Macsyma he'd been solo maintaining for 20 years called Maxima, and in the 26 years since a small band of maintainers many of whom were contributors to the original thing at MIT have been maintaining and enhancing it. And Y'ALL just SLEEPING on this shit like it doesn't exist. How many of y'all even have it up in your computer? Install that shit and start doing math.
