Mathematical models can help the nation return to (some sort of) normality.

How far can virus-carrying droplets fly in different environments — from buses to supermarkets? Maths can provide some answers.

We explore why you need to be extremely careful when combining the reproduction ratios of a disease in different settings, such as hospitals and the community.

How do people in different countries feel about the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken by their governments?

How do mathematical models of COVID-19 work and should we believe them? We talk to an epidemiologist, who has been working flat out to inform the government, to find out more.

This year's Abel Prize has been awarded to Hillel Furstenberg and Gregory Margulis.

A study into Covid-19 suggests that flattening the curve will take longer and harder measures than previously hoped.

As the world prepares for the worst, we explore the maths that can help us stop a pandemic.

For over 250 years minimal surfaces have been playing hide and seek with mathematicians. But what are they and why are they interesting?

Find out how these humble animals have inspired computer algorithms to solve complex real-world problems.

To celebrate the recent centenary of the first major test of Einstein's general theory of relativity, we look back over how our picture of gravity has changed.

A new particle that has recently been discovered at CERN confirms predictions made by theoretical physicists over six years ago.
