Zdeborová now leads the Statistical Physics of Computation Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne.
Three researchers have figured out how to craft a proof that spreads out information while keeping it perfectly secret.
Across the social and biological sciences, statisticians use a technique that leverages randomness to deal with the unknown.
Invisibly to us, insects and other tiny creatures use static electricity to travel, avoid predators, collect pollen and more. New experiments explore how evolution may have influenced this phenomenon.
