"Triangle Shrinkage: The Incredible Shrinking Shape"

Mathematicians Alex Cohen, Cosmin Pohoata, and Dmitrii Zakharov have made a breakthrough in the Heilbronn triangle problem, a mathematical puzzle that has stumped researchers for decades. The problem involves finding the largest possible smallest triangle formed by three points within a square. The trio of mathematicians discovered a new upper bound for the size of the smallest triangle, using techniques from intersecting shapes, number theory, and Fourier analysis. Their findings have revitalized research on the problem and revealed new connections to other areas of mathematics.
