"Our research reveals that Plimpton 322 describes the shapes of right-angle triangles using a novel kind of trigonometry based on ratios, not angles and circles. It is a fascinating mathematical work that demonstrates undoubted genius. 'The tablet not only contains the world’s oldest trigonometric table; it is also the only completely accurate trigonometric table, because … Continue reading Mathematical Secrets of Ancient Tablet Unlocked After Nearly a Century of Study

Dilution of whisky – the molecular perspective | Scientific Reports
"We carried out computer simulations of water-ethanol mixtures in the presence of guaiacol, providing atomistic details on the structure of the liquid mixture. We found that guaiacol is preferentially associated with ethanol, and, therefore, primarily found at the liquid-air interface in mixtures that contain up to 45 vol-% of ethanol. At ethanol concentrations of 59 … Continue reading Dilution of whisky – the molecular perspective | Scientific Reports
