The images of the family destroyed by the Gaza beach explosion have darkened the mood on the Palestinian street, where there is a growing appetite for revenge for Hamas to tap into. And as long...
...Michael Atiyah is a British mathematician who made field-changing discoveries in string theory and superspace beginning over four decades ago.

The Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem, which he developed with MIT’s Isadore M. Singer, earned the duo the 2004 Abel Prize, given by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters...
