New research shows that advances in technology could help make future supercomputers far more energy efficient. Neuromorphic computers are modeled after the structure of the human brain, and researche ...

When students begin to see themselves as math thinkers, they engage actively, explore creatively, and feel more motivated.

Far too many students enter math class expecting to fail. For them, math isn’t just a subject–it’s a source of anxiety that chips away at their confidence and makes them question their abilities. A ...

Neuromorphic computers, inspired by the architecture of the human brain, are proving surprisingly adept at solving complex mathematical problems that underpin scientific and engineering challenges.

A painless, non-invasive brain stimulation technique can significantly improve how young adults learn math, my colleagues and I found in a recent study. In a paper in PLOS Biology, we describe how ...

Math teacher Emma Chiappetta uses a three-round exercise to help students not only recognize their errors, but also generate ...

A brain teaser challenge is a type of IQ test that mostly involves solving a puzzle, cracking a code, finding a hidden object ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...
