The shape of the cosmos depends on a balance of two competing forces: the pull of gravity and the expansion driven by dark ...

From the biathlon to the slopestyle to the giant slalom, raising a ski above your head after crossing the finish line is the triumphant Olympic skier's standard celebration. But why do the skis of the ...

Bayes' theorem is a statistical formula used to calculate conditional probability. Learn how it works, how to calculate it ...

Scientists at the University of Warwick have cracked a long-standing problem in air pollution science: how to predict the movement of irregularly shaped nanoparticles as they drift through the air we ...

Global climate models capture many of the processes that shape Earth's weather and climate. Based on physics, chemistry, ...

UCLA researchers have developed a mineral sunscreen formulation that significantly reduces the white, chalky residue that keeps many people from wearing sun protection daily.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, we study the Lyapunov stability of traveling wave solutions for degenerating Fisher type equations with fractional Laplacian. First, we give the asymptotic behavior of the ...

Illustration of a set of real zeros of a graph polynomial (middle) and two Feynman diagrams. Credit: Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences How can the behavior of elementary particles ...

ABSTRACT: In shape optimization, we often seek to optimize the shape of a domain in order to achieve a goal. For example, the sound of a drum depends on the shape of its membrane, via the eigenvalues ...

A tetrahedron is the simplest Platonic solid. Mathematicians have now made one that’s stable only on one side, confirming a decades-old conjecture. In 360 BCE, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an ...
