More than a century after Srinivasa Ramanujan scribbled his astonishing formulas for π in notebooks in India and England, physicists are finding that those same equations describe how nature behaves ...

Mathematical formulas written over a hundred years ago could find an echo in the most current theories about black holes and turbulence. This observation links the work of the Indian Srinivasa ...

A quiet idea from 1914 still shapes new science. A young Srinivasa Ramanujan once shared bold pi equations. Today those same lines guide hard work in physics. A fresh study now links his ideas to ...
