Nature issues author correction for mouse brain atlas paper

The authors of the mouse brain stereotaxic atlas study published a correction fixing several errors: a mislabeled gene name in a figure (corrected to 'Emx1-Cre'), an inaccurate Dice score and sample size in Extended Data Fig. 4, and an updated voxel resolution value in the methods section describing whole-head dataset acquisition. The HTML and PDF versions of the paper have been updated accordingly, with the original figure included as supplementary material for comparison.

Auburn mathematician creates 'Go First Dice' that eliminate ties for five players

Eric Harshbarger, a mathematician at Auburn University, has finally solved a puzzle he began working on in 2012: designing a set of dice that lets five players roll simultaneously to decide turn order, with every player having an equal chance of winning and no possibility of a tie. The finished product, called the Go First Dice, took nearly 15 years to move from theoretical concept to a working physical set.

New sculpture showcases 60-sided dice designed to avoid ties

A mathematically crafted sculpture highlights a special set of dice built so that rolling them against each other never results in a tie. Unlike standard six-sided dice, which carry a 1-in-6 chance of matching results, these 60-sided dice are engineered around number theory principles to guarantee a distinct winner every time.
