New modeling work suggests why nature is more diverse than niche-based ecological theory predicts.

A new paper finds a faster method for determining when two mathematical groups are the same.

Mathematicians probe the limits of randomness in new work estimating quantities called Ramsey numbers.

By treating molecules as geometric tessellations, scientists devised a new way to forecast how 2D materials might self-assemble.

To buffer the brain against menaces in the blood, a dynamic, multi-tiered system of protection is built into the brain’s blood vessels.

Real data can be hard to get, so researchers are turning to synthetic data to train their artificial intelligence systems.

A series of new papers describes how to fully characterize key dynamical systems with relatively little data.

Wave-science researcher Ton van den Bremer and Steven Strogatz discuss how rogue waves can form in relatively calm seas and whether their threat can be predicted.

With embryolike constructs built entirely from stem cells, researchers can revolutionize our understanding of development. But how close to an embryo is too close?
