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.....»»
Zeroing in on a fundamental property of the proton"s internal dynamics
Inside the proton are elementary particles called quarks. Quarks and protons have an intrinsic angular momentum called spin. Spin can point in different directions. When it is perpendicular to the proton's momentum, it is called a transverse spin. Ju.....»»
Improving bloodstain pattern analysis with fluid dynamics
Often left on the surfaces of a crime scene or on the clothes of an accused criminal, blood backspatter can be used as evidence for forensic scientists to reconstruct what occurred. However, the fluid dynamics at play are complicated, and neglecting.....»»
The dynamics of "hotspot forming" high-energy quasiparticles in a superconducting nanowire
Energetic quasiparticles possess a collection of quantum characteristics that operate in a particle-like way in superconducting nanostructures, and they can undergo relaxation by involving many cascaded interactions between electrons, phonons and Coo.....»»
Searching for ancient bears in an Alaskan cave leads to an important human discovery
The first people to live in the Americas migrated from Siberia across the Bering land bridge more than 20,000 years ago. Some made their way as far south as Tierra del Fuego, at the tip of South America. Others settled in areas much closer to their p.....»»
International team of physicists explore microscopic filament behavior
Recently-published research from an international team of physicists reveals how the three-dimensional shape of rigid microscopic filaments determines their dynamics when suspended in water, and how control of that shape can be used to engineer solid.....»»
South Korea"s dominance in memory chips poised to increase as US squeezes China
South Korea is poised to extend its dominance over the global memory-chip market at China's expense as US export controls shift the dynamics of semiconductor supply chains, a leading industry forecaster predicts......»»
Study: Do higher-order interactions promote synchronization?
Researchers use networks to model the dynamics of coupled systems ranging from food webs to neurological processes. Those models originally focused on pairwise interactions, or behaviors that emerge from interactions between two entities. But in the.....»»
How do plant–soil–microbial interactions mediate vegetation dynamics?
Studies have indicated that early- and mid-successional plants generally suffered from negative to neutral plant–soil feedback. However, the role of such plant–soil feedback during the postglacial primary succession of plants and microorganisms h.....»»
Here are the EVs that qualify for Inflation Reduction Act"s tax credits

When cells sense the cue for growth
Researchers of the Genome Dynamics Project team at Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science have revealed a new mechanism controlling cellular proliferation in response to serum, which triggers growth of resting cells......»»
Boston Dynamics’ Spot robot to paint for an art exhibition
Three of Boston Dynamics' clever Spot robots are about to wield paint brushes to create a work of art for an exhibition in Melbourne, Australia......»»
Intense lasers magnetize solids within attoseconds
Intense laser light can induce magnetism in solids on the attosecond scale—the fastest magnetic response to date. That is the finding reached by theoreticians at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg, Germany,.....»»
Warming strongly increases nutrient availability in a nutrient-limited bog
The dynamics and availability of nutrients in soil can limit the growth of plants and microbes. These forces underpin how ecosystems respond to changing environmental conditions. Researchers investigated climate impacts on peatland nutrient availabil.....»»

Master & Dynamic have announced that they will be hosting a sitewide promotion as part of their Family & Friends Sale where you can get 30% off pretty much everything. There are so many brands and models to choose from when it comes to he.....»»
How can organizations bridge the gap between DR and cybersecurity?
Breaking down the silos between disaster recovery (DR) and cybersecurity has become increasingly important to ensure maximum business resiliency against outages, data breaches, and ransomware attacks. Yet, many organizations still operate these funct.....»»
India upholds penalty on Google, allows partial concession in anti-trust case
An Indian tribunal court gave some partial relief in an anti-trust case against Google, preventing Google from a complete shakeup for its Android business in one of the fast-growing markets which Google cannot afford to miss......»»
"Taffy Galaxies" collide, leave behind bridge of star-forming material
Galaxy collisions are transformative events, largely responsible for driving the evolution of the universe. The mixing and mingling of stellar material is an incredibly dynamic process that can lead to the formation of molecular clouds populated with.....»»
Strong solar flare erupts from the sun
The sun has emitted a strong solar flare that peaked at 10:33 p.m. ET on March 28, 2023. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly, captured an image of the event......»»
