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.....»»

Particle errors: Quantifying the effects of simulation mixing state on aerosol optical properties
Particles in the atmosphere affect global climate. For example, the black carbon from burning fossil fuels absorbs and radiates light and heat. To calculate the effects of aerosols on climate, scientists rely on simulated aerosol fields. How these mo.....»»
Modeling agriculture matters for carbon cycling
To understand Earth's changing climate, scientists often turn to science-based computer simulations. Researchers strive to make these Earth system models as accurate as possible. Factors such as wind currents, air quality, and weather patterns all pl.....»»
IC Design White Paper puts Chinese mature node capability under spotlight

The Greenland Ice Sheet is close to a melting point of no return, says new study
The Greenland Ice Sheet covers 1.7 million square kilometers (660,200 square miles) in the Arctic. If it melts entirely, global sea level would rise about 7 meters (23 feet), but scientists aren't sure how quickly the ice sheet could melt. Modeling t.....»»
Modeling study shows how bark beetle infestations affect wildfires
A recent modeling study shows that bark beetle outbreaks in forests won't necessarily cause bigger and more damaging wildfires—at least not for awhile......»»

Modeling superfast processes in organic solar cell material
In organic solar cells, carbon-based polymers convert light into charges that are passed to an acceptor. This type of material has great potential, but to unlock this, a better understanding is needed of the way in which charges are produced and tran.....»»
The multiverse: Our universe is suspiciously unlikely to exist—unless it is one of many, says physicist
It's easy to envisage other universes, governed by slightly different laws of physics, in which no intelligent life, nor indeed any kind of organized complex systems, could arise. Should we therefore be surprised that a universe exists in which we we.....»»
High-fidelity simulation offers insight into 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor
On the morning of Feb. 15, 2013, a small asteroid exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, sending a loud shockwave and sonic boom across the region, damaging buildings and leaving around 1,200 people injured. The resulting meteor, with a diameter of appro.....»»
