A new theory enables the simulation of complex pattern formation in biological systems across different spatial and temporal scales. For many processes important for life such as cell division, cell ...

The technology continues to evolve, but 3D printing is still mostly used for creating prototypes or parts that won’t have to endure tremendous stresses or rigorous wear and tear. That might not always ...

Why do some systems collapse suddenly after what seems like a minor disturbance? A single transmission line failure can cascade into widespread blackouts. A delayed shipment can ripple through a ...

Order doesn’t always form perfectly—and those imperfections can be surprisingly powerful. In materials like liquid crystals, tiny “defects” emerge when symmetry breaks, shaping everything from cosmic ...

In an increasingly interconnected world, understanding the behavior and structure of complex networks has become essential ...

New research shows that socio-economic factors play a larger role in migration than climate. While public discussions often focus on climate change driving people to emigrate, new research published ...

A team of researchers, including psycholinguist Jutta Mueller from the University of Vienna, has discovered that newborns are capable of learning complex sound sequences that follow language-like ...
