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

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 modern economy is a complex machine. Its job is to allocate limited resources and distribute output among a large number of agents—mainly individuals, firms, and governments—allowing for the ...

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 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 ...

Models are important for understanding the current and future states of the world and we use many, for instance the capital asset pricing model, to help us understand markets and investing. But most ...

Scientists in Greece have laid out a mathematical framework to help explain a so-far-unsolved gap in our understanding of how ...

In February 2016 researchers at the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (aLIGO) in the US announced a ground-breaking discovery – on 14 September 2015 they had made the first ...

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 ...
