Today, foldable phones are ubiquitous. Now, using models that predict how well a flexible electronic device will conform to spherical surfaces, University of Wisconsin–Madison and University of Texas at Austin engineers could usher in a new era in which these bendy devices can integrate seamlessly with parts of the human body.
In 1918, the American chemist Irving Langmuir published a paper examining the behavior of gas molecules sticking to a solid surface.
University of Sussex mathematicians have developed the first ever mathematical model of how to reach sexual climax, as revealed in a new paper.
AIP has selected Mahouton Norbert Hounkonnou as the winner of the 2023 John Torrence Tate Medal for International Leadership in Physics. The award committee selected Hounkonnou “for leadership in building and maintaining an enduring transnational African mathematical physics research and education community, in particular the COPROMAPH conferences and schools and Academy level international networks.” The award includes a certificate of recognition, bronze medal, and $10,000 prize and Hounkonnou will be presented with the medal during an upcoming physical sciences community event.
A new study corrects an important error in the 3D mathematical space developed by the Nobel Prize–winning physicist Erwin Schrödinger and others and used by scientists and industry for more than 100 years to describe how your eye distinguishes one color from another.
Elizabeth Stuart, PhD, AM, an accomplished biostatistician and academic administrator, has been named chair of the Department of Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She will assume the role on July 1.
With National Pi Day March 14, Baylor mathematics chair Dorina Mitrea, Ph.D., explains what makes Pi important.
Have you ever wondered how pedestrians ‘know’ to fall into lanes when they are moving through a crowd, without the matter being discussed or even given conscious thought?
A new mathematical model which aims to optimise treatment for prostate cancer has been developed by experts at the University of Portsmouth.
A new study published in Genes, Brain and Behavior has identified several genetic variants that may be linked with mathematical abilities in children.
When two black holes collide into each other to form a new bigger black hole, they violently roil spacetime around them, sending ripples called gravitational waves outward in all directions.
ASU Associate Professor Paulo Shakarian details results of a study in which he tested ChatGPT on 1,000 mathematical word problems. He's not sold on its reasoning ability.
It is now widely understood that cancer is a disease of acquired defects in genes and gene function. An article published Feb. 10 in Science, and authored by Andrew Feinberg, M.D., of the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and the Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences (IBBS) and Andre Levchenko, Sc.D., M.S., of the Yale School of Engineering and Applied Science, addresses new quantitative approaches to better define and measure these defects in gene function, known as epigenetics, and their interplay with the genetic landscape of cancer.
PERI, at the Begun Center for Violence Prevention and Research at Case Western Reserve University’s Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, offers evaluation services and support to local nonprofits.
Having levels of potassium that are too high or too low can be fatal. A new mathematical model sheds light on the often mysterious ways the body regulates this important electrolyte.
At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Joachim Kock, mathematician at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), began to experiment with epidemiological models. He did not improve upon the predictions, but unexpectedly he made a mathematical discovery that led to the solution of an old problem in theoretical computer science, open since the 1980s, on Petri nets.
In new research published by Biophysical Reports, researchers from Florida State University and Cleveland State University lay out a mathematical model that explains how bacteria communicate within a larger ecosystem. By understanding how this process works, researchers can predict what actions might elicit certain environmental responses from a bacterial community.
