LiveAction announces that users can now leverage LiveWire in concert with Artificial Intelligence (AI) to better refine network operations. LiveWire will now allow users to export their network packet data for use in AIs to find patterns that human o.....»»
New model provides real-time, more accurate prediction of tsunami wave patterns
On January 15, 2022, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano in Tonga exploded, releasing large amounts of energy into the atmosphere and ocean, causing tsunamis across the Pacific Ocean. Scientists from the Shocks, Solitons and Turbulence Unit at the.....»»
Exciting the brain could be key to boosting math learning, says new study
Exciting a brain region using electrical noise stimulation can help improve mathematical learning in those who struggle with the subject, according to a new study from the Universities of Surrey and Oxford, Loughborough University, and Radboud Univer.....»»
Can this forest survive? Predicting forest death or recovery after drought
Researchers from UC Davis can now predict which forests could survive despite future drought. Their new method links precipitation to tree growth, and it can help people decide where to put their resources as climate change affects patterns of snow a.....»»
Examining the entrainment rate of shallow cumulus clouds and its influencing factors
Clouds are not only a mesmerizing spectacle in the sky but also a crucial player in Earth's atmospheric dynamics. Among the many types of clouds, cumulus clouds stand out because of their pivotal role in regulating weather patterns and climate. One o.....»»
Three reasons we use graphic novels to teach math and physics
Post-pandemic, some educators are trying to reengage students with technology—like videos, computer gaming or artificial intelligence, just to name a few. But integrating these approaches in the classroom can be an uphill battle. Teachers using the.....»»
Sequencing genes of Iron and Bronze Age peoples to better understand early Mediterranean migration patterns
An international team of anthropologists, archaeologists and geneticists has learned more about the migration patterns of people living around the Mediterranean Sea during the Iron and Bronze ages. In their study, reported in the journal Nature Ecolo.....»»
Mapping methane emissions from rivers around globe reveals surprising sources
Freshwater ecosystems account for half of global emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Rivers and streams, especially, are thought to emit a substantial amount of that methane, but the rates and patterns of.....»»
Major festivities modulate light pollution patterns on a global scale
A new research by a team from the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) and the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN-CSIC) in collaboration with Australian and New Zealander researchers has shown how the major festivities of different human.....»»
Irrigating more U.S. crops by mid-century will be worth the investment, researchers say
With climate change, irrigating more crops in the United States will be critical to sustaining future yields, as drought conditions are likely to increase due to warmer temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns. Yet less than 20% of croplands.....»»
Indonesia says capital pollution spike due to weather, vehicles
Indonesia's government on Friday blamed a pollution spike in traffic-clogged capital Jakarta on weather patterns and vehicle emissions after the city topped global rankings four days this week......»»
What do a jellyfish, a cat, a snake, and an astronaut have in common? Math.
Across the animal kingdom there are creatures that move through their environments not by walking or running or climbing but instead by simply changing the shape of their bodies. This kind of locomotion is found in snakes as they slither, in stingray.....»»
Novel algorithm able to detect mutations in single-cell sequencing data sets
Single-cell RNA sequencing data are useful for studying cell phenotypes and function. However, deciphering the clonal relationships of cells is critical to understanding the patterns of cell migration during development and tissue growth, and to stud.....»»
Quantum material exhibits "non-local" behavior that mimics brain function
We often believe computers are more efficient than humans. After all, computers can complete a complex math equation in a moment and can also recall the name of that one actor we keep forgetting. However, human brains can process complicated layers o.....»»
X marks the unknown in algebra, but X"s origins are a math mystery
Even though "x" is one of the least-used letters in the English alphabet, it appears throughout American culture—from Stan Lee's X-Men superheroes to "The X-Files" TV series. The letter x often symbolizes something unknown, with an air of mystery t.....»»

Discovery of Elusive "Einstein" Tile Raises More Questions Than It Answers
A surprisingly simple answer to a mathematical puzzle intrigues the math world.....»»
Your Genes May Influence What You Like to Eat
New research identifies genome areas linked to dietary patterns and our taste for things such as tea, tobacco and grapes.....»»
North Atlantic Oscillation contributes to "cold blob" in Atlantic Ocean
A patch of ocean in the North Atlantic is stubbornly cooling while much of the planet warms. This anomaly—dubbed the "cold blob"—has been linked to changes in ocean circulation, but a new study found changes in large-scale atmospheric patterns ma.....»»
To spread or slide? Scientists uncover how foams spread on surfaces
Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have uncovered the physics behind how foams spread on surfaces. The scientists placed balls of foam on a flat substrate and then scraped across it with a plate. They identified different patterns that st.....»»
