What does a physicist see when looking at the NFT market?
The market for collectible digital assets, or non-fungible tokens, is an interesting example of a physical system with a large scale of complexity, non-trivial dynamics, and an original logic of financial transactions. At the Institute of Nuclear Phy.....»»
Mapping the future of rural revitalization: Study sheds light on China"s rural dynamics
Globally, rural areas face challenges such as population decline, job shortages, and deepening urban-rural divides, exacerbated by rapid urbanization and industrialization. In China, these issues threaten rural sustainability, making the study of rur.....»»
Aurora borealis dynamics suggest the polar vortex is breaking up again
The Space Climate Research Group at the University of Oulu, Finland has been studying the effects of energetic particle precipitation from space, more commonly known as the aurora borealis or Northern Lights, on winter weather variations for quite so.....»»
Climate indices and precipitation anomalies reveal stark implications for the Middle East
A new study led by Dr. Assaf Hochman from the Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem sheds light on the complex dynamics of sub-seasonal precipitation anomalies in the Middle East, revealing significant correlations with ke.....»»
Discovery of widespread coral diversity may change conservation efforts
There may be many more species of coral than we ever imagined—according to researchers from Boston University, The University of Rhode Island (URI), and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI)—and they may change our approach to coral reef cons.....»»
Boston"s approach to "problem properties" could help improve cities across the US, new research finds
Communities across the country have been trying to tackle "problem properties," centers for crime, violence and other public safety concerns. For the first time, research proves how effective these strategies can be......»»
The dynamics of deformable systems: Study unravels mathematical mystery of cable-like structures
Are our bodies solid or liquid? We all know the convention—that solids maintain their shapes, while liquids fill the containers they're in. But often in the real world, those lines are blurred. Imagine walking on a beach. Sometimes the sand gives w.....»»

Hubble traces "string of pearls" star clusters in galaxy collisions
Contrary to what you might think, galaxy collisions do not destroy stars. In fact, the rough-and-tumble dynamics trigger new generations of stars and presumably accompanying planets......»»
Study finds corn genome can gang up on multiple pathogens at once
In a changing climate, corn growers must be ready for anything, including new and shifting disease dynamics. Because it's impossible to predict which damaging disease will pop up in a given year, corn with resistance to multiple diseases would be a.....»»

Shifts in lake carbon dynamics on the Qingzang Plateau: From predominant carbon sources to emerging carbon sinks
A new study shows that annual carbon emissions from lakes in the Qingzang Plateau (QZP)—a vast elevated plateau at the intersection of Central, South, and East Asia—have declined, with some lakes shifting from carbon sources between 1970–2000 t.....»»
Increased temperature difference between day and night could affect all life on Earth, say scientists
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, have discovered a change in what scientists already knew about global warming dynamics. It had been widely accepted since the 1950s that global temperature rises were not consistent throu.....»»
Biogen dumps dubious Alzheimer’s drug after profit-killing FDA scandal

When dissipative solitons vanish, breathing dynamics occur: Study
Solitons are quasiparticles that propagate along a non-dissipative wave. Put another way, they are waveforms that hold their shape as they move—like a single wave moving across the surface of a pond. They can also show particle-like behavior, such.....»»
The underground network: Decoding the dynamics of plant-fungal symbiosis
The intricate dance of nature often unfolds in mysterious ways, hidden from the naked eye. At the heart of this enigmatic tango lies a vital partnership: the symbiosis between plants and a type of fungi known as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi......»»
Access and exclusion: What COP28 revealed about the dynamics of global climate diplomacy
With the host country of this year's COP29 climate conference already forced into an embarrassing course correction over a shocking lack of representation in its organizing committee, the issues of influence, access and exclusion at COP have never be.....»»
