Granular matter is all around us. Examples include sand, rice, nuts, coffee and even snow. These materials are made of solid particles that are large enough not to experience thermal fluctuations.

In our increasingly electrified world, supercapacitors have emerged as critical components in transportation and renewable energy systems, prized for their remarkable power density, cycling stability, ...

Deep neural networks are becoming increasingly popular in more and more industries, and while recent developments in networks designed to play Go and online video games have excited the attention of ...

In disaster mitigation planning for future large earthquakes, seismic ground motion predictions are a crucial part of early warning systems. The way the ground moves depends on how the soil layers ...

Illustration of a strike-slip fault at a tectonic plate boundary. The tectonic plates move parallel to each other, leading to so-called strike-slip earthquakes with relatively little deformation.

Increasingly, AI models are able make short-term weather forecasts with surprising accuracy. But neural networks only predict based on patterns from the past—what happens when the weather does ...

A team of New York University computer scientists has created a neural network that can explain how it reaches its predictions. The work reveals what accounts for the functionality of neural networks ...

Association of adaptive immunity/inflammatory genes with survival in prostate cancer. Biopsies avoided with a grade group (GG) ≥2 prostate cancer (PCa) threshold of 18.6. Validation Sites GG ≥2 PCa ...

In many neurodegenerative conditions, brain changes occur before symptoms emerge. But now, researchers from Japan have found a new way to distinguish these conditions in the early stages according to ...
