Three researchers have figured out how to craft a proof that spreads out information while keeping it perfectly secret.

Invisibly to us, insects and other tiny creatures use static electricity to travel, avoid predators, collect pollen and more.

Across the social and biological sciences, statisticians use a technique that leverages randomness to deal with the unknown.
