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.....»»
China censors women modeling lingerie on livestream shopping -- so men are doing it
Donning a sassy piece of silk lingerie, a male model grooves to the beat and forms a heart shape with his fingers during a livestreaming session on Douyin, one of China's most popular video-sharing platforms......»»
Elegantly modeling Earth"s abrupt glacial transitions
Proxy data—indirect records of the Earth's climate found in unlikely places like coral, pollen, trees and sediments—show interesting oscillations approximately every 100,000 years starting about one million years ago. Strong changes in global ice.....»»
The Food System Is Awful for the Climate. It Doesn’t Have to Be
New modeling estimates that food production could add a degree Celsius to global warming. But it also points to powerful ways to make diets more sustainable......»»
Light-induced acceleration of intracellular delivery
Cell membranes are barriers that maintain cellular homeostasis, and the intracellular delivery of biologically functional molecules, including peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids to manipulate cellular functions. Conventional intracellular uptake p.....»»
How NASA"s Roman Space Telescope will rewind the universe
A new simulation shows how NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will turn back the cosmic clock, unveiling the evolving universe in ways that have never been possible before when it launches by May 2027. With its ability to rapidly image enormous.....»»
Intel releases Quantum SDK version 1.0 to grow developer ecosystem
After launching its beta version in September 2022, Intel has released version 1.0 of the Intel Quantum Software Development Kit (SDK). The SDK is a full quantum computer in simulation that can also interface with Intel's quantum hardware, including.....»»
Invasive plant species will spread even further in Germany according to simulation study
Many invasive plant species have not yet filled their potentially suitable habitat. This is what geographers at Leipzig University established in a recent simulation study. They coupled different data sets to predict the probability of occurrence of.....»»
Neural network algorithm predicts Arrhenius crossover temperature with 90% accuracy
A joint paper by the Department of Computational Physics and Modeling of Physical Processes and Udmurt Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences published in the journal Materials introduces an algorithm that allows for the correct e.....»»
Gun violence spills into new neighborhoods as gentrification displaces drug crime, according to new study
Gentrification doesn't erase drug crime and gun violence. Instead, research from West Virginia University economist Zachary Porreca shows that when one urban block becomes upwardly mobile, organized criminal activity surges outward to surrounding blo.....»»
New method for deriving approximate linear equations to complicated nonlinear problems
Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have created a new method for deriving approximate linear equations to complicated nonlinear problems. Using simulation results, they show that the model derived using their proposed pseudo-linearization appro.....»»
Contents of containers of fossils from 1909 expedition reconstructed nondestructively
Between 1909 and 1913, the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin organized and financed the German Tendaguru Expedition (GTE) to southern Tanzania, at that time still the German colony of Deutsch-Ostafrika. With the participation of more than 500 local Afric.....»»
Climate change disrupts core habitats of marine species, finds modeling study
A comprehensive modeling study indicates the extent to which climate change threatens marine ecosystems and their biodiversity. According to the study, the core habitats of a large proportion of marine species could not only shift poleward, but also.....»»
Study finds sinking tundra surface unlikely to trigger runaway permafrost thaw
Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists set out to address one of the biggest uncertainties about how carbon-rich permafrost will respond to gradual sinking of the land surface as temperatures rise. Using a high-performance computer simulation, the.....»»

Understanding plants can boost wildland-fire modeling in an uncertain future
A new conceptual framework for incorporating the way plants use carbon and water, or plant dynamics, into fine-scale computer models of wildland fire provides a critical first step toward improved global fire forecasting......»»
How intracellular fluid flows influence the formation of complex patterns
The formation of patterns is a universal phenomenon that underlies fundamental processes in biology. An example are the concentration patterns of proteins, which direct vital cellular processes, including cell division, polarity, and movement. These.....»»
New algorithm enables simulation of complex quantum systems
An international team of scientists from the University of Luxembourg, Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD) at TU Berlin and Google has now successfully developed a machine learning algorithm to tackle large and complex.....»»
