New research has (pardon the pun) put a new spin on a mathematical analogy involving a jumping grasshopper and its ideal lawn shape. This work could help us understand the spin states of ...

A few years ago, the physicists Olga Goulko, Damián Pitalúa-García and Adrian Kent proposed the grasshopper problem. Think of a grasshopper that hops a fixed distance in a random direction. If the ...
