In a flurry of recent papers, Yau and other mathematicians have characterized many new types of random matrices, which can conform to a variety of numerical distributions and symmetry rules. For ...

This protocol describes how to produce cell-derived matrices from fibroblasts. These matrices can be used to provide a 3D scaffold for cell culture and to investigate cell behavior in complex ...

Everything you could do with the real and complex numbers, you could do with the quaternions, except for one jarring difference. Whereas 2 × 3 and 3 × 2 both equal 6, order matters for quaternion ...

Quantum theory needs complex numbers Date: December 15, 2021 Source: ICFO-The Institute of Photonic Sciences Summary: An international team of researchers shows through a concrete theoretical ...

A sequence of numbers that can be ordered from least to greatest, the reals include all the familiar characters we learn in school, like –3.7, the square root of 5, and 42.

Complex numbers are essential to achieve the most accurate quantum-mechanical description of nature, according to experiments done by two independent teams of physicists. Both studies were inspired by ...
