The Isaac Newton Institute: Creating eureka moments

One of the most important mathematicians of her time, Noether also proved a fundamental result in physics.

To avoid full school closures in the next pandemic, or even epidemic, epidemiologists need crucial information from schools, students, and parents.

Our digital, networked lives are only possible thanks to cryptography, but quantum computing could make our current techniques useless. How can we prepare for this quantum future and ensure we can continue to live our digital lives?

Ingenious uses of maths have provided the key to internet security, but how can we secure our digital lives in the face of quantum computing?

Find out about lattice-based cryptography – the best candidate for keeping our networks safe in the face of attacks by quantum computers – in this brief introduction.

A lattice may seem like a simple regular grid of points, but it leads to fascinating new research in maths and cryptography!

Quantum computing often grabs the headlines. The word "quantum" itself is intriguing enough, but what exactly is quantum computing?

Ingenious maths keeps your credit card details safe when you shop online and underlies the security of the internet.  Find out how in this easy introduction.

The process of diffusion has been studied for centuries.  But reserachers have recently begun to study a competing process –  anti-diffusion. Find out more in this collection of content from a recent research programme at the INI.

Researchers from different fields recently came together to improve our understanding of anti-diffusion, the process behind the distinct bands of Jupiter, that also plays a role in our oceans and in developing plasma fusion reactors.

Whenever you smell the lovely smell of fresh coffee or drop a tea bag into hot water you're benefiting from diffusion. Find a quick introduction to the concept here.
