Really random networks
Many natural and human-made networks, such as computer, biological or social networks have a connectivity structure that critically shapes their behavior. The academic field of network science is concerned with analyzing such real-world complex netwo.....»»
Plant metabolism proves more complicated than previously understood
Plants have evolved fiendishly complicated metabolic networks. For years, scientists focused on how plants make secondary metabolites, the compounds that plants produce to enhance their defense and survival mechanisms......»»
A new mathematical language for biological networks
A team of researchers around Berlin mathematics professor Michael Joswig is presenting a novel concept for the mathematical modeling of genetic interactions in biological systems. Collaborating with biologists from ETH Zurich and Carnegy Science (U.S.....»»
Preserving privacy through advanced encryption techniques
At its core, encryption involves the use of algorithms, mathematical functions that manipulate data into a seemingly random and indecipherable form. This encoded information, referred to as ciphertext, can only be converted back into its original, me.....»»
Examining the role of social media likes in follower network evolution
In a recent study centered on China's primary social shopping community, researchers shed light on the factors influencing the growth of the follower networks of content creators. The empirical study, published in the International Journal of Computa.....»»
The benefit of music education on the well-being of children in a post-COVID world
A new publication by a University of Adelaide researcher highlights the benefits of music education for child development and well-being, particularly in a post-COVID-19 landscape of disrupted social connections and networks......»»
A better way of measuring homophily: Uncovering hidden mixing patterns in real-world networks.
It is likely that you have heard of the term "homophily" before. After all, the concept permeates all of our relationships, both in real-life and online—the way we make friends, the way we choose a sexual partner, who we follow on social media, or.....»»
Spinning up control: Propeller shape helps direct nanoparticles, researchers say
Self-propelled nanoparticles could potentially advance drug delivery and lab-on-a-chip systems—but they are prone to go rogue with random, directionless movements. Now, an international team of researchers has developed an approach to rein in the s.....»»
