Spaghetti, windowsill, and LEGO: On-the-fly composites modeling
Sure, they're mixed metaphors—but just as modeling is a close estimate of real-world processes, so too are verbal explanations of such nuanced arithmetic. Trisha Sain, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, explores multiscale physics by th.....»»
Potent anti-cancer therapy created using "click chemistry"
A potent anti-cancer therapy has been created using Nobel prize-winning "click chemistry," where molecules click together like LEGO bricks, in a new study by UCL and Stanford University researchers......»»

Computer modeling explains a key facet of bees’ decision-making skills—something only seen previously in humans and other primates.....»»
56 million-year-old Eocene global warming may indicate a wetter future
Modeling of Earth's response to global warming has suggested dry regions will become more arid and wet regions will experience more precipitation, with an uneven distribution of moisture in the atmosphere. With enhanced seasonality, there will likely.....»»
Animation shows what the world would look like if you could see carbon dioxide emissions
It's a strange, eerie-looking place. Carbon dioxide gas appears… and disappears in cycles and bursts throughout the year. It's how our planet would look if we could detect carbon dioxide (CO2) with our eyes. Scientists at NASA's Global Modeling and.....»»
Remote lake emissions from the Tibetan Plateau challenge global climate modeling
Earth's complex systems interact between atmospheric, terrestrial, hydrological, cryological (ice and snow) and biological processes in feedback loops. Understanding their relationships is important for modeling their future impacts, particularly reg.....»»
How hardening Microsoft 365 tenants mitigates potential cloud attacks
Moving critical data and workloads to the cloud has significantly changed information security teams. But most don’t have the resources to be successful in their cloud attack modeling—not to mention the deployment of measurable controls to defend.....»»
New nationwide modeling points to widespread racial disparities in urban heat stress
From densely built urban cores to sprawling suburbia, cities are complex. This complexity can lead to temperature hot spots within cities, with some neighborhoods (and their residents) facing more heat than others......»»
Sonic Superstars is getting a Lego DLC, but game still has no release date
Today's Sonic Central stream didn't give us a release date for Sonic Superstars, but it did reveal a new Lego DLC......»»
