Joan Birman popularized the Burau representation problem decades ago. Now she and two colleagues have a proof that reveals ...
How can you have a proof without proving anything? Mathematicians found a way and, in the process, came to blows over it – but 100 years on, this trick is a common part of modern maths, says columnist ...
Just as embryos develop into complex forms, single cells also form complicated structures, but much less is known about pattern formation in cells. We used a single-celled organism, Stentor, to ask ...
Abstract: Due to circuit failures, defective elements that cannot adaptively adjust the phase shifts of their impinging signals in a desired manner may exist on an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) ...
Graph partitioning and bisection represent fundamental questions in combinatorial optimisation, concerned with dividing the vertices of a graph into disjoint subsets while balancing size constraints ...
To understand the nature of hemispatial attention allocation in virtual reality (VR), a line bisection task (LBT) was administered both in a real environment and a virtual environment to assess the ...
Like the deranged children’s programming provided by the Five Nights at Freddy’s and Chucky series before it, My Friendly Neighborhood takes everyone’s favorite childhood memories and converts them ...
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 ...
Materials for solid-state batteries often exhibit complex chemical compositions, defects, and disorder, making both experimental characterization and direct modeling with first principles methods ...
