Human crowds are best modeled by a "visual neighborhood"
Human crowd dynamics are best predicted by a visual neighborhood model, based on the visual fields of each person in the crowd. Birds flock, fish school, and human crowds, too, move in a collective motion pattern. Understanding human crowd behavior c.....»»
How anti-Asian racism manifested at work in the pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged any notion that Asian Americans are a privileged, white-adjacent group skirting above racism. To more fully understand how COVID-19 affected the racial dynamics experienced by Asian professionals in the workplace, McG.....»»
The next golden decade for DRAM? Main suppliers unite in production reduction
The world's top three DRAM suppliers are cutting production. It is expected that Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron will reduce wafer supply by up to 25% YoY in 2023. This would help set the DRAM market back to normal supply-demand dynamics, a.....»»
Intel, BCG collaborate to deliver enterprise-grade, secure generative AI
Intel and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) have announced a strategic collaboration to enable generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) using end-to-end Intel AI hardware and software. The GenAI solution delivers fully custom and proprietary solutions.....»»
Modeling electron dynamics in real time
Making the dynamics of an excited molecule visible is only possible using computationally intensive simulations. Recently, a research team led by Sandra Luber from the University of Zurich has developed a method that speeds up these complex simulatio.....»»
Electron re-collision tracked in real time
The motion of an electron in a strong infrared laser field is tracked in real time by means of a novel method developed by MPIK physicists and applied to confirm quantum-dynamics theory by cooperating researchers at MPI-PKS. The experimental approach.....»»
Researchers develop manual for engineering spin dynamics in nanomagnets
An international team of researchers at the University of California, Riverside, and the Institute of Magnetism in Kyiv, Ukraine, has developed a comprehensive manual for engineering spin dynamics in nanomagnets—an important step toward advancing s.....»»
Does everybody get "a piece of the national cake"? How Nigerian politicians cooperate to distribute public resources
Since 2017, political scientist Leila Demarest has immersed herself into the dynamics of Nigeria's National Assembly, the federal parliament of the country. How does this institution work, and how do politicians cooperate? And how are public resource.....»»
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.....»»
Why are there fewer serial killers now than there used to be?
Looking at the most-streamed movies or television shows on any given streaming service, it would be easy to assume that serial killers lurk behind every corner. The stories of Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy and the Boston Strangler still loom large––e.....»»
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.....»»
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.....»»
