The morning alarm goes off, and it’s time to get ready for work. Ph.D. student Samuel Gilvarg has already pretreated his clothes with permethrin insecticide. All that’s left is to pull his socks up and over his pant legs. The morning alarm goes off, and it’s time to get ready for work. Ph.D. student Samuel Gilvarg…

When French historian and educator Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the modern Olympics in 1894, he did so with a vision of promoting peace through sport. In reality, the Olympics have often reflected the geopolitics of the period. When French historian and educator Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the modern Olympics in 1894, he did so…

Senckenberg researcher Dr. Rachel Racicot and her former student Joyce Sanks from Vanderbilt University have examined the inner ear of the extinct dolphin genus Parapontoporia. In their study, published in the journal The Anatomical Record, they show that the toothed whales had already developed specialized high-frequency hearing in the Miocene. Senckenberg researcher Dr. Rachel Racicot and…

In a Letter published in Physical Review E, scientists from the Research Institute of Intelligent Complex Systems (IICS) at the Fudan University show AI makes useless noise widely useful in oscillator synchronization. These findings have implications for engineering energy-saving regulators and understanding the benefits of noise in various systems. In a Letter published in Physical Review…

An international team of scientists, including two researchers who now work in the Center for Advanced Sensor Technology (CAST) at UMBC, has shown that twisted carbon nanotubes can store three times more energy per unit mass than advanced lithium-ion batteries. The finding may advance carbon nanotubes as a promising solution for storing energy in devices…

A team of scientists has developed a novel hybrid scheme for both steady and unsteady single-phase compressible flow simulations. Their scheme has potential applications in real-world scenarios, offering a promising avenue for future research. A team of scientists has developed a novel hybrid scheme for both steady and unsteady single-phase compressible flow simulations.
