New ActivityThe latest activity to be updated on this site is called "Recipe Ratios" (Learn the mathematics required to adapt recipes to serve a different number of people.). So far this activity has been accessed 23233 times and 12108 people have earned a Transum Trophy for completing it. 
It is important for pupils to learn about recipe ratios in maths because it equips them with practical skills that can be applied in everyday life. By understanding how to adapt recipes to serve a different number of people, students develop their problem-solving abilities and mathematical reasoning. Featured ActivityJugs The classic problem of using two unmarked jugs to measure exactly a given quantity. The Transum version is interactive and awards a virtual trophy for each of the levels completed. Recent News:A tiny supercurrent could unlock quantum information without destroying itResearchers have proposed a breakthrough technique for reading quantum information without destroying the delicate states that make quantum computers work. By detecting an electrical signal generated by the qubit itself, their method achieved up to 99.85% accuracy in simulations and could make future quantum computers simpler and more efficient. more... Cambridge scientists create a $10 chip that could put a medical lab on your wristCambridge researchers have created a groundbreaking $10 optical sensor that delivers the precision of laboratory equipment in a device small enough for wearable technology. It identified foods, plastics, and medicines with 100% accuracy in tests and demonstrated the ability to monitor blood glucose, alcohol, and other health markers without invasive procedures. more... Physicists discover “astonishing” property of light that defies expectationsScientists have uncovered a surprising hidden ability of light that allows it to develop spinning, twisting behavior as it travels through empty space, without special lenses, mirrors, or materials. Researchers discovered that light’s internal geometry can naturally produce left- and right-handed patterns, challenging long-standing assumptions about how light behaves. By carefully arranging a beam’s structure, scientists can control where and how these spinning patterns emerge, unlocking a new way to manipulate light. more... Scientists recreate a bizarre quantum effect that stops a particle coldOxford physicists have recreated a bizarre quantum effect in which a particle responds to a magnetic field without ever traveling through it. Using a hybrid quantum computer, they demonstrated how introducing a simulated magnetic flux could completely halt a particle's movement through quantum interference. The experiment brings a decades-old prediction into a new setting where matter and quantum fields influence one another. more... The hidden math of Alzheimer's could point to new treatmentsMathematics may hold unexpected clues to understanding Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists have developed a model showing how common metals like copper and zinc may influence the buildup of proteins associated with the disease, while also exploring possible ways to stop the process. The findings could help researchers identify promising strategies for preventing harmful plaque formation. more... This new qubit could be 100 times less error-prone in superfluid quantum computer breakthroughA proposed qubit made with superfluid helium could cut quantum computing error rates by around 100 times by shielding quantum information from common forms of electromagnetic noise. If experiments confirm the predictions, the technology could eventually work alongside today’s superconducting qubits or serve as a new kind of quantum memory. more... Caltech physicists finally measure a quantum energy ladder predicted 40 years agoResearchers have experimentally observed energy patterns that physicists have predicted for about 40 years. By arranging laser-trapped atoms into a quantum simulator, they recreated two different quantum tipping points and watched the atoms fall into the exact energy ratios predicted by theory. The technique could now be used to explore mysterious quantum systems where scientists do not already know the answer. more... |
