Math model reveals insight into how first life forms were 'born'

An international team of physicists have revealed insights into how the very first life-forms made the jump from the non-living to the living world, by mathematically modelling biological states using energy waves called ...

Chaotic 'spin vortices' could lead to new computer memories

(Âé¶¹ÒùÔº)—In science, just like in life, sometimes creating the most effective organization depends on being able to handle just a bit of chaos first.

Mathematicians show how shallow water may help explain tsunami power

(Âé¶¹ÒùÔº)—While wave watching is a favorite pastime of beachgoers, few notice what is happening in the shallowest water. A closer look by two University of Colorado Boulder applied mathematicians has led to the discovery ...

Point-like defects in a quantum fluid behave like magnetic monopoles

(Âé¶¹ÒùÔº)—No one has ever definitively observed a magnetic monopole, the hypothetical fundamental particle that has only a north or south magnetic pole, but not both like normal magnets do. However, scientists have observed ...
