At the start of 2025, a team of researchers shattered the previous world record for computing digits of π (pi), pushing the known boundary of this famous irrational number even further. Using cutting-edge computational techniques, the researchers calculated over 120 trillion digits of pi, surpassing the previous record of 100 trillion digits set in 2022. This achievement is not just about setting records – it has important implications for computer science, numerical analysis, and even physics.
