What happens when you cool atoms to almost absolute zero and then learn to control them with extraordinary precision? That question lies at the heart of the work of 2026 Wolf Prize in Physics Laureates Immanuel F. Bloch and Jun Ye. Bloch helped turn ultracold atoms into powerful quantum simulators, experimental systems that allow physicists to recreate and study complex quantum behavior in a highly controlled environment. Ye pushed precision in a different direction, developing optical atomic clocks of remarkable accuracy and stability, opening new ways to measure time, gravity, and even test some of the most fundamental laws of physics. The science is complex. The idea behind it is surprisingly intuitive: control atoms well enough, and they become tools for exploring questions that ordinary matter cannot easily reveal. Watch the video to see how their work is giving physicists unprecedented control over the quantum world and why that matters far beyond the laboratory.

For 300 years mathematicians solved polynomials of degree 1, 2, 3, and 4 with increasingly complex formulas. Then they hit degree 5 and the formula simply doesn't exist - not undiscovered, provably impossible. The reason is group theory. The 5 solutions of a quintic can be scrambled in ways that no finite chain of nested roots can replicate - the same symmetry mathematics that underlies modern cryptography and the attention mechanism in transformers. 28 minutes. Bookmark & watch today. The proof is more beautiful than the formula would have been.

I think one of the roles we play as mathematicians in society is to help people become acquainted with the underlying secret patterns. I have been working for several years on projects in crystallography, where we study crystal structures. But few people know that such periodic patterns come with severe constraints on their symmetry. In the plane, there are 17 different symmetry types, a fact well known even to the designers of the mesmerizing patterns of the Alhambra. Here you can find and experiment with such tilings in the plane, gaining insight into the intrinsic beauty of the so-called wallpaper groups, the crystal symmetries in dimension 2. The app interactively helps you design symmetric patterns with colors and shows how changes in the structure of the unit cell propagate via symmetry. In dimension 3, if you look into International Tables for Crystallography, Vol. 1, you will find a theorem due to Schoenflies and Fedorov stating that there are 230 such symmetry types, a cornerstone of modern chemistry. Beyond that, in dimensions 4 and higher, a count can be made, but it requires a proof of the general theorem due to Frobenius and Bieberbach. This was an answer to the first part of Hilbert’s famous eighteenth problem. One of the fun consequences of such a classification is that in dimensions 2 and 3, 5-fold symmetry is forbidden in regular periodic arrangements. Intrinsically, this fact is related to the existence of matrices with a fifth-root-of-unity eigenvalue. For integral matrices, this is possible only in dimensions 4 and higher. If you generalize the square and cube tilings to dimensions 4 and 5, obtaining hypercubic tilings, the 5-fold symmetry pattern emerges. Skew projections of the 5D hypercubic tiling onto a 2-dimensional plane give rise to a quasicrystalline tiling known as the Penrose tiling. You can find such patterns in front of the Andrew Wiles Building at the Oxford Mathematical Institute. In later posts this summer, I will take a deep dive into group homology, a modern tool for studying the geometry of crystals. There are still many open questions, for example, how many symmetry types exist exactly in dimensions beyond 6. This is still largely unknown; at present, we only have asymptotic lower bounds.

🚨Jason Padgett: the accidental savant who says he can see the geometric code behind reality. After a brutal attack in 2002, Padgett developed acquired savant syndrome and began seeing the world in intricate geometric and fractal patterns. Movement became sequences of geometric “snapshots.” Water, light, and ordinary objects seemed to reveal mathematical structures hiding beneath everyday perception. Today, he makes hundreds of videos explaining his ideas about the nature of reality, including his theory of Quantum Information Holography (QIH)—the idea that the universe may be fundamentally connected to information, light, geometry, and holographic projection. What happens when your perception of reality changes so radically that you start trying to reverse-engineer the universe from what you see?

How do you make reading DNA faster, cheaper and scalable enough to transform medicine? That question sits at the heart of the breakthrough behind the 2026 Wolf Prize in Chemistry, awarded to Pascal Mayer, Shankar Balasubramanian and David Klenerman. Their work helped turn DNA sequencing into a massively parallel process, dramatically reducing the cost and time needed to read genetic information, and helping make large-scale genomics possible. But what does that actually mean? How does next-generation sequencing work, and why was this such a major leap forward? Watch the video to see the science behind the breakthrough and understand how three researchers helped change the way we read the human genome. Cambridge University

D-Branes and the Expansion of String Theory String Theory was already attempting to do something huge by trying to describe particles, forces, and gravity in one framework. Branes made that picture much richer. When Physicists found that open strings can end on objects called D-branes, many important ideas became easier to organize. Things like gauge fields, black hole microstates, holography, and deep dualities gained a clearer place inside the theory. They showed that String Theory is not only about tiny vibrating strings, but also about larger structures that help connect Quantum Physics, Geometry, and Gravity.

String Theory is one of the few frameworks that tries to describe Quantum Physics and Gravity in the same mathematical language. In this animation, the glowing loop is the string, the shifting color along it represent its quantum vibration modes, and the surrounding fabric is a proxy for Spacetime responding. When you quantize a string, one of its vibration modes behaves like a graviton. So, geometry shows up as part of the same quantum system. #StringTheory #QuantumGravity #GeneralRelativity #QuantumPhysics #TheoreticalPhysics #PhysicsVisualization

I asked Dario 3 years ago why AIs haven't been able to use their vast knowledge across so many fields to connect two known ideas into a new discovery. It seems like AI did exactly this in the way it disproved Erdos' conjecture aobut the unit distance problem by cleverly onnecting together ideas in discrete geometry and algebraic number theory. Now that AI has been able to use its knowledge across multiple fields to come up with new ideas, what is the next benchmark? Grant Sanderson proposed one during our interview: "Good mathematicians prove theorems, great mathematicians come up with conjectures, and the greatest mathematicians come up with definitions."

The Freemasons did not invent the title of Great Architect for God arbitrarily. Randall traces it to a specific and ancient understanding - that the universe was built according to geometry, that all of creation carries that geometry inherently within it, and that the role of the master builder was not to express personal creativity but to replicate the processes by which God constructed reality itself. The grand geometric mean - another name Randall notes the Freemasons apply to the divine - points to the same conclusion. Mathematics and divinity were never separate categories in this tradition. They were the same thing viewed from different angles. What Randall finds most compelling is the point at which observation overtakes skepticism. The geometry is there. It appears in the proportions of living organisms, in the structure of galaxies, in the dimensions of ancient monuments, and in the relationships between celestial bodies. Randall’s position is straightforward - there is a threshold beyond which dismissing this as coincidence is no longer intellectually honest. Once you begin looking for the geometry of creation, it becomes impossible to stop finding it. The ancient master builders understood that - and everything they built was a deliberate act of alignment with a geometric order they believed was not invented by human minds but discovered within a universe that was already built that way from the beginning.

The Non-Traversable Bridge Einstein Found Inside Gravity Einstein’s equations not only describe gravity as a force but as the shape of Spacetime as well. In 1935, Einstein and Rosen found that the Schwarzschild solution could be written in a way that reveals something astonishing: Two separate exterior regions of Spacetime joined by a bridge-like throat Rᵤᵥ = 0 This became known as the Einstein-Rosen Bridge. It is often called a Wormhole, but the classical Einstein-Rosen bridge is not a science-fiction tunnel. In the standard Schwarzschild geometry, it is non-traversable. The throat does not remain open long enough for ordinary travel from one region to the other. Its real power is mathematical. It shows that General Relativity is not merely about objects moving through space. The theory allows Spacetime to have global structure such as different regions, horizons, extensions, and hidden connections that are not visible from one local patch alone. The Einstein-Rosen bridge is one of the earliest glimpses of that deeper idea. Gravity is geometry. And sometimes, geometry has two worlds joined by a throat. #Astrophysics #GeneralRelativity #Einstein #BlackHole #Spacetime #Cosmology #Gravity #Wormhole #Mathematics #Physics

"The mathematics of string theory is probably one of the most beautiful artifacts humanity has created. In order to even produce something in theoretical physics, there's hundreds of years of literature that you need to catch up on, and also every day there's, 100 new papers that come out. And before you can contribute to theoretical physics, you need to know basically all of math, like algebraic topology, differential equations, algebraic geometry, and these are all things that people will spend their careers going in on, and yet to do the physics, you need to at least have, a pretty deep understanding of these things. And so it really teaches you how to have, good judgment with minimal information."

The 2016 physics prize opened a door to an unfamiliar realm where matter can exist in strange states. In the prize announcement, Professor Thors Hans Hansson used a bun, a doughnut and a pretzel as visual aids to understanding the "exotic" concept. He explained, "Exotic is not a precise scientific term. Exotic is something that expresses our wonder, our wonder in front something that is very unusual, very hard to understand”. David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz used advanced mathematical methods in the field of topology to study these unusual phases. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics "for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter" Watch the prize announcement:

Terence Tao: AI isn’t hype anymore in Math discovery. Terence Tao is one of the greatest living mathematicians, in his new lecture explains how AI and human professional mathematicians are now complementary. "There has been a really visible increase in capability. It is not pure hype by any means. To me, these advances show there is a complementary way to do mathematics. Humans traditionally work in small groups on hard problems for months, and we will keep doing that. But we can also now set AI to scale: sweep a thousand problems and pick up all the low-hanging fruit. Figure out all the ways to match problems to methods. If there are 20 different techniques, apply them all to 1,000 problems and see which ones can be solved by these methods. This is the capability that is present today."
