The birth of this new field can be dated to 2003, when researchers at SFI convened a workshop on ways to “model”—in the scientific sense of reducing to equations—aspects of human society.

A nonperturbative solution is obtained by expanding the scattered and transmitted fields in terms of spherical vector wave functions, so that Maxwell's equations ... to calculate the differential ...

Masaki Kashiwara has won the 2025 Abel prize, sometimes called the Nobel prize of mathematics, for his work on algebraic analysis. Kashiwara, a professor at Kyoto University, Japan, received the ...

"Unlike the rubber band, what makes mixed-order phase transitions unique is that even when a system surpasses the tipping point, it often takes a long time before the shift to the new phase ...

This suggested that the so-called "isospin symmetry" between up and down quarks might be broken by more than expected due to the differences in their electric charges and masses—a discrepancy ...

This initiative marks a paradigm shift in drug evaluation and holds promise to accelerate cures and meaningful treatments for Americans while reducing animal use,” said FDA Commissioner Martin ...
