In a recent study, mathematicians from Freie Universität Berlin have demonstrated that planar tiling, or tessellation, is much more than a way to create a pretty pattern. Consisting of a surface ...

It’s a rare midday jaunt along the 401 where I’m not boxed in by heavy traffic; I’m actually able to travel at 100 km/h for more than a few minutes. I quickly glance at the row of climate controls and ...

Cells process dynamic signaling inputs to regulate fate decisions during development. While oscillations or waves in key developmental pathways, such as Wnt, have been widely observed, the principles ...

Blame it on my love of language, and blame that on my dad—the “it” being my unhealthy need for the stories of P. G. Wodehouse. The witty, wonderful, meandering, wise-cracking tales of Jeeves and ...

How to go from a few teams to hundreds by Darrell Rigby, Jeff Sutherland and Andy Noble By now most business leaders are familiar with agile innovation teams. These small, entrepreneurial groups are ...

Abstract: This letter investigates the finite-dimensional observer-based boundary control for 1D linear parabolic-elliptic systems via the modal decomposition method. To address the potential multiple ...

Differential equations are fundamental tools in physics: they are used to describe phenomena ranging from fluid dynamics to general relativity. But when these equations become stiff (i.e. they involve ...
