Last November, after a decade of failed attempts, David Smith, a self-described shape hobbyist of Bridlington in East Yorkshire, England, suspected that he might have finally solved an open problem in the mathematics of tiling: That is, he thought he might have discovered an “einstein.” In less poetic terms, an einstein is an “aperiodic monotile,” a shape that tiles a plane, or an infinite two-dimensional flat surface, but only in a nonrepeating pattern. (The term “einstein” comes from the Germa
In February last year, surrounded by takeaway pizza, a group of students at a tiny liberal arts college in the US sat watching Google Maps. Earlier that day they’d unearthed a TikTok video showing a column of tanks positioned just outside the Russian city of Belgorod.

The latest rocket launch schedule for Florida's Space Coast, which includes Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
At 5:29am on July 16 1945, the world entered the nuclear age. Deep in the New Mexico desert, scientists watched the first test of “the gadget”: a nuclear bomb with a 13lb radioactive core. This was “Trinity”, the climax of the Manhattan Project, one of the most expensive research and development projects ever undertaken. The men who had birthed this atomic weapon watched through protective goggles, shielded in bunkers 10km away from where the gadget had been hoisted up a 100ft tower to mimic the
