Welcome, Forrest
Postdoctoral Research Fellow Forrest Sheldon arrives at the London Institute. He studies combinatorial design and models of reprogramming.
Papers
How to count logics
The fraction of logics that are biologically permitted can be bounded and shown to be tiny, which makes inferring them from experiments easier.
Papers
The rules of life
The bipartite nature of genetic regulatory networks means their logics are composed, which severely restricts which ones can show up in life.
WEBSITE
Research themes
Our four research themes, from the nature of the universe to the future of tech, all use mathematics to understand the world and improve it.
PERSPECTIVES
Lessons from the RI
As the government creates its Advanced Research & Invention Agency, it could learn from the exceptional history of the Royal Institution.
WEBSITE
Our journals
Our new Journals page provides a guide to the journals we have published in, as well some journals that we haven’t, but would like to.
News
Move to the RI
We are delighted to announce that we have moved to the Royal Institution, where we will expand our programme of curiosity-driven research.
Press
From zero to IRO
If the government wants a broader ecosystem of scientific research organisations, it needs to support non-university science. Here’s how.
Projects
Recursively divisible
Generalizing the divisor function to find a new kind of number that can be recursively divided into parts, for use in design and technology.
Events
Grand challenges
A one-day meeting at the RI to discuss accelerating discovery with Bit.Bio and do a hackathon of the 23 mathematical challenges of our time.
PEOPLE
Welcome, Sarah
Welcome to our new director of development Sarah Myers Cornaby. She’ll be leading our fundraising and strategy for growing the Institute.
PAPERS
True scale-free networks
Naturally occurring networks have an underlying scale-free structure that is often clouded by finite-size effects in the sample data.
