Math teacher Marcus Hung squinted in mock concentration. "3.1415," he said before pausing dramatically and then smiling. "That's about it." Reciting the digits of the irrational number pi is not his ...

Science often isn’t a bold “Eureka!,” a shout that that is loudly proclaimed after decades of painstaking research. Rather, many times, it begins with a “Huh, that’s funny,” and it ends someplace ...

A nearly 400 year-old formula for pi has been spotted in a quantum-mechanics formula for the energy states of the hydrogen atom, according to researchers in the US. Derived by English mathematician ...

Physicists are now using principles from quantum mechanics to build a new model of the abstract concept of pi. Or, more accurately, they built a new model that happens to include a great new ...
