The modeling and simulation of self-organized intracellular twisters in the Drosophila oocyte
Cytoplasmic streaming is the large-scale motion of cytoplasm (i.e., gelatinous liquid inside cells) inside a living cell. This flow, known to regulate various intracellular processes, can vary greatly between different cell types at different stages.....»»
Cooler, wetter parts of Pacific Northwest likely to see more fires, new simulations predict
Forests in the coolest, wettest parts of the western Pacific Northwest are likely to see the biggest increases in burn probability, fire size and number of blazes as the climate continues to get warmer and drier, according to new modeling led by an O.....»»

Researchers shed light on river resiliency to flooding
Researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno have completed one of the most extensive river resilience studies, examining how river ecosystems recover following floods. They developed a novel modeling approach that used data from oxygen sensors plac.....»»
A new generation of storm chasers takes on Mother Nature in Twisters trailer
"You don't face your fears, you ride 'em." Daisy Edgar-Jones, Anthony Ramos, and Glen Powell star in Twisters, a standalone film inspired by the 1996 classic. Like so many others, I adored the 1996 film Twister, now a classic in the.....»»
Madden 24’s Super Bowl LVIII prediction was eerily accurate
Madden 24's Super Bowl LVIII simulation was eerily accurate this year, almost perfectly nailing several stats......»»
Ocean system that moves heat gets closer to collapse, which could cause weather chaos, study says
An abrupt shutdown of Atlantic Ocean currents that could put large parts of Europe in a deep freeze is looking a bit more likely and closer than before as a new complex computer simulation finds a "cliff-like" tipping point looming in the future......»»
Quantum simulation with ultracold fermions unveils pairing pseudogap
A research team has, for the first time, observed and quantitatively characterized the many-body pairing pseudogap in unitary Fermi gases. This achievement, pursued by the ultracold atomic community for nearly two decades, resolves longstanding debat.....»»
How a city is organized can create less-biased citizens
The city you live in could be making you, your family, and your friends more unconsciously racist. Or, your city might make you less racist. It depends on how populous, diverse, and segregated your city is, according to a new study that brings togeth.....»»
