Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart of modern physics. Researchers at IISc discovered that the same ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi)—rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits—in school, where we learn about its use in the context of a circle. More ...

A quiet idea from 1914 still shapes new science. A young Srinivasa Ramanujan once shared bold pi equations. Today those same lines guide hard work in physics. A fresh study now links his ideas to ...
