Recent scientific modeling has proposed a fascinating theory about how Pluto captured its largest moon, Charon. The theory ...

Researchers have discovered quantum oscillations inside an insulating material, overturning long-held assumptions. Their work at the National Magnetic Field Laboratory suggests that the effect ...

Placing materials under extremely strong magnetic fields can give rise to unusual and fascinating physical phenomena or ...

A team of researchers at the Max Born Institute have managed to fully characterize few-femtosecond-long light pulses tunable ...

The authors used a Bayesian modeling framework to fit behavior and serotonin neuron activity to reward history across multiple timescales. A key goal was to distinguish value coding from other ...

Ask the publishers to restore access to 500,000+ books. An icon used to represent a menu that can be toggled by interacting with this icon. A line drawing of the Internet Archive headquarters building ...

Abstract: While drilling, the interaction with the rock can generate significant vibrations, resulting in an inefficient rate of penetration. Control strategies based on accurate distributed dynamics ...

In geopolitical terms, catastrophe theory explains the breaks in world order—the sudden realignments that redefine history. Chaos theory, by contrast, explains the turbulence that precedes and follows ...

A few days ago, I wrote about non-singular black hole models, specifically one known as the Hayward model. Since its introduction in 2006, several variations of the Hayward model have been introduced, ...
