Using a notion called integer partitions, mathematicians have discovered a new way to detect prime numbers while also ...

It "represents theoretical math that could’ve been done decades ago" - but it has big implications for the future.

Ken Ono, a top mathematician and advisor at the University of Virginia, has helped uncover a striking new way to find prime ...

Their work revives long-standing mathematical curiosities but does so through a fresh window – additive combinatorics.

Prime numbers are crucial for tech like RSA encryption, so understanding them from every angle is essential for maximum ...

Professor Ken Ono from the University of Virginia has made a discovery that could redefine the mathematical understanding of ...

Researchers demonstrate that there are infinitely many prime numbers of the form p²+4q² using novel and advanced ...

Around 300 BCE, Euclid proved that there are infinitely many prime numbers. Mathematicians have since built on his theorem, proving the same statement for primes that meet additional criteria.

Prime numbers are infinite, and proving anything about patterns in them is notoriously difficult. Mathematicians continue to chip away at pair primes, which are primes that are two apart: 11 and ...
