Decades after the landmark proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, ideas abound for how to make it even more reliable. But such efforts reflect a deep misunderstanding of what makes the proof so important.

Immunologists confirm an old hunch: T-cells identify what belongs in the body by timing how long they can bind to it.

An experiment caught a quantum system in the middle of a jump — something the originators of quantum mechanics assumed was impossible.

A recent challenge to Stephen Hawking’s biggest idea — about how the universe might have come from nothing — has cosmologists choosing sides.

New experimental results simultaneously advance and challenge the theory that the brain’s network of neurons balances on the knife-edge between two phases.

Astronomers have discovered a complex planetary system still swirling into existence.
