Photo of one single atom (the bright dot at the center of the pictures). 🧐It's being illuminated by a laser and held motionless thanks to an electric field. It absorbs and re-emits light particles sufficiently quickly for an ordinary camera to capture it.
This mysterious space-filling curve is a variant of the Hilbert curve, built from epicycles. Watch as it slowly evolves. Source: tinyurl.com/ybx98zt4
Ten years ago today, we achieved our first successful launch—time flies when you’re having fun!
Euler’s influence in math was so broad that many discoveries and theorems are attributed to the first person to have proven them after Euler. What’s your favorite example?
Born #OTD 1826, Bernhard Riemann was a German mathematician whose work generalizing and formalizing differential geometry was essential to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity #histSTM
Ahead of my #mathsconf17 workshop, I've written a post about factorising trickier quadratics (ie those with coefficient of x² > 1). In it I take a look at the history of the two most popular methods - inspection and grouping. completemaths.com/blog/item/fact… #mathschat #teammaths
Mathematics and art have a long history with each other. The Golden Ratio (~1.618) was known to Euclid, Pythagoras and has been used in ancient Egypt, Greece, in the Parthenon and the Mona Lisa. It appears in nature at the macroscopic and quantum level. Here is a golden spiral.
Can two integer right triangles fit together along a common side length to form another integer right triangle?
A simple visualization showing that the period of a pendulum swing is proportional to the length of the pendulum. 🤓
SpaceX has signed the world’s first private passenger to fly around the Moon aboard our BFR launch vehicle—an important step toward enabling access for everyday people who dream of traveling to space. Find out who’s flying and why on Monday, September 17.

A simple visual proof that: 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n = (n^2 + n)/2 🤓
Here's the proof: x³-1=(x-1)(x²+x+1) and this number is composite unless x-1=1 ⇒ x=2 and x³=8
Oh boi, I just hit my first million views :0
73939133 is the largest prime number with this curious property: if you take one or more digits off the end, the resulting numbers are all prime.
Happy birthday to Maria Agnesi, the first woman to write a major calculus textbook and the first woman to be appointed as a university math professor.
