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.
We talk to the creators of a fantastic tool for exploring maths and science through interactive simulations.
We experience phase transitions every day, but they are some of the most dramatic events nature presents us with. Here's a quick introduction.
Random walks are great for modelling anything that moves, from particles to people. They're also fun, versatile and beautiful!
Hannah Fry will join us at the University of Cambridge in January as Cambridge's first Professor for the Public Understanding of Mathematics!
Worried about your population of bugs? A branching process can help you understand it.
Hannah Fry is coming to join us in Cambridge! She tells us about her own mathematical research, why she thinks mathematicians have a duty to engage the public, and shares one of her favourite mathematical moments.
Our behaviour impacts not just our daily lives. But how do you mathematically describe the messiness of human behaviour?
How does maths help in tackling infectious diseases? Join Julia Gog to find out in this series of videos and articles, and have a go at modelling diseases yourself!
With just some simple arithmetic, you can build a basic mathematical model of how a disease might spread. Julia Gog explains how, and there's also some Lego action...
