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.....»»
Brogent Technologies expects revenues to keep growing in three years straight

New method helps reduce uncertainty in numerical models
The uncertainty related to physical parameters is a major challenge in numerical modeling. However, due to the large number of such parameters in numerical models, reducing the uncertainty for all of them would be extremely expensive in terms of manp.....»»
Model shows extinction cascades caused by land use and climate change will wipe out more than 25% of world biodiversity
A new tool developed by European and Australian scientists enabling unparalleled modeling of interconnected species loss shows cascading extinctions are unavoidable, and that the Earth will lose some 10% of its animals and plants by 2050, rising to 2.....»»

How karst caves can be used as a terrestrial simulation platform to test and design human bases in lunar lava tubes
If human beings want to survive on the other planets for a long time, they must first find or set up a safe, stable, and long-term shelter. Lunar lava tubes are geological structures on the moon discovered in recent years. They take the form of hollo.....»»
Coupled computer modeling can help more accurately predict coastal flooding, study demonstrates
When Hurricane Florence hit the coast of North Carolina as a Category 1 storm in 2018, it set new records for rainfall, creating damaging 500-year flooding events along the Cape Fear River Basin......»»
How and when to use multiple calendars in iOS 16 & macOS Ventura
Whether you use Apple's own Calendar app or a powerful third-party alternative, you can stay more organized by leveraging multiple calendars. Here's why, when, and how to do it.If you deliberately set out to make confusing terminology, then you could.....»»
Why synonymous mutations are not always silent
New modeling shows how synonymous mutations—those that change the DNA sequence of a gene but not the sequence of the encoded protein—can still impact protein production and function. A team of researchers led by Penn State chemists modeled how ge.....»»
High-resolution modeling of aviation emissions reveals which airline routes in Norway pollute the most
Norwegian greenhouse gas emissions from air traffic are more than twice as high as the worldwide average......»»
Atmospheric transport modeling study: When the Aral Sea dried up, Central Asia became dustier
Winds kick up large amounts of dust from the desert that has formed as the world's fourth largest lake has disappeared, spreading it around the region and raising concerns about public health......»»
NASA scientists create black hole jets with supercomputer
Leveraging the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS), NASA Goddard Space Flight Center scientists ran 100 simulations exploring jets—narrow beams of energetic particles—that emerge at nearly light speed from supermassive black holes. These be.....»»
Mind the gaps: The world needs to radically transform its educational systems, not just upgrade them
In September 2022 the United Nations organized the first-ever high-level Transforming Education Summit, inviting stakeholders to put forward commitments and tackle the challenges we face. Once again we heard how staggering the needs are: in lower-inc.....»»

How to test whether we"re living in a computer simulation
Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started out with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow stars, planets and ultimately life to develop? The exp.....»»
A closer look at the dynamics of the p-Laplacian Allen–Cahn equation
In the past few decades, the use of phase field-modeling equations for mathematical modeling has progressed. Phase separation has been studied extensively in thermodynamics and materials engineering, but the biological field has also begun to take an.....»»
