A Bridge Between Infinity and Computer Science: The Manifold
Introduction: Why a Mathematical Concept Changes Everything In the annals of mathematics, certain ideas do more than solve equations. They reshape entire fields of study. The manifold—born from the work of Bernhard Riemann in the 19th century—did exactly this. By providing a flexible way to think about space, manifolds bridged abstract geometry with the real-world…

IU Scientists Crack Neutrino Code for Universe’s Matter
Big Question, Tiny Particles Neutrinos are among the universe’s most abundant yet most elusive particles. They hardly interact with matter, travel through planets, stars, and you, and come in three flavors: electron, muon, and tau. Understanding how they change from one flavor to another—neutrino oscillations—could illuminate one of cosmology’s oldest mysteries: why the universe is…
