A new bridge between the geometry of fractals and the dynamics of partial synchronization
In mathematics, simple equations can generate a complex evolution in time and intriguing patterns in space. One famous example of this is the Mandelbrot set, named after the French-American mathematician of Polish origin, Benoit B. Mandelbrot (1924-2.....»»

Progress in the investigation of ultrafast electron dynamics using short light pulses
When electrons move within a molecule or semiconductor, this occurs on unimaginably short time scales. A Swedish-German team, including Dr. Jan Vogelsang from the University of Oldenburg, has now made significant progress towards a better understandi.....»»
New theoretical framework unlocks mysteries of synchronization in turbulent dynamics
Weather forecasting is important for various sectors, including agriculture, military operations, and aviation, as well as for predicting natural disasters like tornados and cyclones. It relies on predicting the movement of air in the atmosphere, whi.....»»

There is a bit of irony for those of us who live in the Northern Hemisphere. Enlarge / Sol, imaged by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. (credit: NASA) Welcome to the Daily Telescope. There is a little too much darkne.....»»
New model sheds light on grassland desertification dynamics
In a study published in Remote Sensing, scientists from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have employed a Desertification Difference Index (DDI) model to better understand and combat global gr.....»»
Engineers pair laser light to crystal lattice vibrations to enhance optical properties of 2D material
Engineers at Columbia University and theoretical collaborators at the Max Planck for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter have found that pairing laser light to crystal lattice vibrations can enhance the nonlinear optical properties of a layered 2D m.....»»
Constraining the dynamics of rotating black holes via the gauge symmetry principle
In 2015, the LIGO/Virgo experiment, a large-scale research effort based at two observatories in the United States, led to the first direct observation of gravitational waves. This important milestone has since prompted physicists worldwide to devise.....»»
New technology for long-term liquid storage of chicken semen by arresting energy metabolism
Researchers from the University of Tsukuba have developed an advanced refrigerated storage technology that prolongs the fertilization capacity of chicken sperm by arresting the energy metabolism dynamics, achieved through the depletion of calcium ins.....»»
Viruses as important factors driving the diel dynamics of marine bacterioplankton
The diel cycle is one of the most common periodic patterns in marine ecosystems. Previously, the diel rhythm changes of marine bacterioplankton have often been attributed to factors like bacterial light-dependent physiological mechanisms or their int.....»»
Beeper has more ridiculous work-arounds for its iMessage bridge hack
Beeper Mini's continued attempts to bring iMessage to Android have taken a peculiar and possibly final turn as the firm recommends getting an old iPhone and jailbreaking it.Now Beeper says you need an iPhone in order to get the iPhone's iMessage appT.....»»

Dryland biocrusts enhance soil carbon release in response to climate warming: Study
Biocrusts, comprised of diverse organisms such as mosses, lichens, and cyanobacteria, have an enormous influence on soil carbon dynamics. Therefore, understanding the function and response of biocrusts to environmental stressors is essential for ecos.....»»
Team reviews phosphine ligand-induced structural transformation of metal nanoclusters
A team of researchers has reviewed a unique method for reforming the structures of ultra-small nanomaterials. These nanomaterials, called metal nanoclusters, bridge the gap between the metal atom and the bulk metal, making them highly useful in both.....»»
Bowtie resonators that build themselves bridge the gap between nanoscopic and macroscopic
A central goal in quantum optics and photonics is to increase the strength of the interaction between light and matter to produce, for example, better photodetectors or quantum light sources. The best way to do that is to use optical resonators that.....»»
