The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. All of modern mathematics is built on the foundation of set theory, the study of how to organize abstract collections of objects. But in ...

Foams were once thought to behave like glass, with bubbles frozen in place at the microscopic level. But new simulations reveal that foam bubbles are always shifting, even while the foam keeps its ...

Today, I’m testing something insane—I made my own gum in the lab! But here’s the challenge: I brought in some special guests, and whoever blows the biggest bubble wins a huge prize! But that’s not all ...
