Mathematicians have a new bucket list of open questions to chase

In parallel, a race by amateurs and mathematicians has found all 25,000 cases of one “inverse Galois problem”

A lone signal from an experiment in South Dakota doesn’t fit the profile of any other known particles, physicists say.

Perhaps dark matter is made of an entirely different kind of particle than the ones physicists have been searching for. New experiments are springing up to look for these ultra-lightweight phantoms.

A solution to part of the Cohen-Lenstra conjecture helps resolve a long-standing mystery about quadratic forms
