University of Michigan and Carnegie Mellon University researchers have developed a new tool that makes greener chemistry more accessible. The tool, described in a study published in Nature, removes a major barrier to wider ...
To probe the mysteries of how galaxies evolve over time, scientists needed a supercomputer with out-of-this-world computational power.
Imagine watching a favorite movie when suddenly the sound stops. The data representing the audio is missing. All that's left are images. What if artificial intelligence (AI) could analyze each frame of the video and provide ...
When reading a passage, readers may pause at a particular word or return to reread it. Studies using eye-tracking, which record eye movements during reading, have suggested that word length, frequency, and predictability ...
Long-term weather forecasting is a difficult task, partly because weather systems are inherently chaotic. Though mathematical equations can approximate the underlying physics of weather, tiny inaccuracies that grow exponentially ...
Whether an asteroid is spinning neatly on its axis or tumbling chaotically, and how fast it is doing so, has been shown to be dependent on how frequently it has experienced collisions. The findings, presented at the recent ...
Researchers from The University of New Mexico and Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a novel computational framework that addresses a longstanding challenge in statistical physics.
Air quality in America's largest cities has steadily improved thanks to tighter regulations on key sources of particulate pollution. However, increased heat, wildfire smoke and other emerging global drivers of urban aerosol ...
Many properties of the world's most advanced materials are beyond the reach of quantitative modeling. Understanding them also requires a human expert's reasoning and intuition, which can't be replicated by even the most powerful ...
A recent report from the University of Chicago's Air Quality Life Index found that wildfires are worsening air quality in Canada. The report found that in 2023, wildfires caused concentrations of particulate matter to rise ...
