New research at the University of Warwick has (pardon the pun) put a new spin on a mathematical analogy involving a jumping grasshopper and its ideal lawn shape. This work could help us understand the ...

A few years ago, the physicists Olga Goulko, Damián Pitalúa-García and Adrian Kent proposed the grasshopper problem. Think of a grasshopper that hops a fixed distance in a random direction. If the ...

Superhumans don’t exist in the real world, but someday you might see super robots. Obviously, robots can be made that are stronger, faster, and better than humans, but do you think there is a limit to ...
