It isn’t often that physics produces news that diverts the mainstream media from politics, crime and sports. But, now, in the space of four years’ time, physicists have twice elevated the intellectual ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Rogue monster waves, once believed extremely rare, are now ...

The compressible Navier-Stokes equations form the cornerstone of fluid dynamics, describing the motion of viscous compressible fluids under conservation of mass, momentum and energy. By incorporating ...

The FitzHugh-Nagumo equations describe the propagation of impulses along a nerve axon. We study traveling wave solutions, which satisfy a set of ordinary differential equations with a cubic ...

Under investigation in this paper is a (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLS), which is a generalisation of the NLS equation. By virtue of Wronskian determinants, an effective method ...

The best perk of Alberto Maspero’s job, he says, is the view from his window. Situated on a hill above the ancient port city of Trieste, Italy, his office at the International School for Advanced ...

Includes basic results associated with linear dispersive wave systems, first-order nonlinear wave equations, nonlinear dispersive wave equations, solitons, and the methods of the inverse scattering ...

During the weeks Professor of Physics Brad Marston was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail last year, he had ample time to contemplate the deflection of waves at the earth’s equator and the ways magnetic ...

Artificial-intelligence (AI) models are modern oracles. The neural networks that power them are flexible mathematical tools, capable of finding any pattern, fitting any shape and drawing any line.
