From shipwrecks and skyscraper infernos to pandemics and planet killers, disaster movies pack big stakes with human stories at the center. This list counts down twenty five standout entries that ...

Argonne researchers are using transformer models to speed up fluid simulations for advanced nuclear reactor systems.

Physicists have debated which way a submerged sprinkler sucking in water would spin. Careful experiments provide an answer.

Japan has released an AI-generated video simulating a Mount Fuji eruption to warn Tokyo residents about potential hazards. The simulation depicts ash plumes spreading towards the city, highlighting ...

Granular materials are widely encountered in food processing, but understanding their behavior and movement mechanisms remains in the early stages of research. In this paper, we present our recent ...

Abstract: A power-efficient, adaptive and IoT-based volcanic eruption detector is realised to provide a robust trigger mechanism for a custom-built radar for pyroclastic flow monitoring. The design, ...

Volcanic debris flows (lahars) are highly destructive volcanic phenomena and present significant challenges in numerical simulation. This manuscript tackles the three fundamental requirements for ...

Granular materials like cereal, pharmaceuticals, sand, and concrete commonly organize such that grains segregate according to size rather than uniformly mixing. For example, in a jar of nuts, the ...

In Japan, relevant lessons were learned after a 1991 eruption of the Fugendake peak of Mt. Unzen in Nagasaki Prefecture triggered a massive pyroclastic flow. During reconstruction after the disaster, ...
