Phonons are sound particles or quantized vibrations of atoms in solid materials. The Debye model, a theory introduced by ...

Synchronization abounds in nature: from the flashing lights of fireflies to the movement of fish wriggling through the ocean, biological systems are often in rhythmic movement with each other.

Fifty years into the project of modeling Earth’s future climate, we still don’t really know what’s coming. Some places are warming with more ferocity than expected. Extreme events are taking ...

The researchers discovered that this separation proves remarkably clean. In a preprint paper released in late October, they ...

Data-driven models are increasingly used to simulate and make predictions about complex systems, from online shopping preferences and the performance of the stock market to the spread of disease and ...

Scientists have developed a new way to represent the world's cities in global climate and Earth system models (GCM & ESMs), ...

Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and the California Institute of Technology are one step closer to understanding an enigma in climate change science: why do climate ...

While machine learning and deep learning models often produce good classifications and predictions, they are almost never perfect. Models almost always have some percentage of false positive and false ...

In 2015, when NASA's New Horizons spacecraft encountered the Pluto-Charon system, scientists discovered interesting, geologically active objects instead of the inert icy orbs previously envisioned.

Mathematicians show that by modelling meat as a fluid-saturated matrix of elastic proteins, which are deformed as the fluid moves, cooking behaviors can be simulated more precisely. Meat is no ...
