A classic formula for pi has been discovered hidden in hydrogen atoms - ScienceAlert

1

Two scientists were surprised to find pi lurking in a quantum mechanics formula for the energy states of the hydrogen atom.

In 1655 the English mathematician John Wallis published a book in which he derived a formula for pi as the product of an infinite series of ratios. Now researchers from the University of Rochester, in a surprise discovery, have found the same formula in quantum mechanical calculations of the energy levels of a hydrogen atom.
