When we see a hand, regardless of whether it's open, in a fist, or pointing a finger, we still recognize it as a hand. If a computer has only been taught to recognize an open hand, however, it will ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 64, No. 2 (March 2019), pp. 650-660 (11 pages) Double diffusion in lakes and oceans can transform vertical gradients into staircases of convectively mixed layers ...

A ground-breaking study conducted by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has revealed a method of using quantum mechanical wave theories to "lock" heat into a fixed position.

The depletion of energy resources poses a significant threat to the development of human society. Specifically, a considerable amount of low-grade heat (LGH), typically below 100°C, is currently being ...

We present a general method to construct m-symmetric diffusion processes (X t, P x) on any given locally compact metric space (X, d) equipped with a Radon measure m. These processes are associated ...

“Experimental validation shows the fabricated superscatterer amplifies the thermal scattering signature of a small insulated ...

Light undergoes a unique phenomenon called superscattering, an optical illusion where a very small object scatters far more ...

A cotton swab is dipped into concentrated hydrochloric acid (producing hydrogen chloride gas) while a second on is dipped into concentrated aqueous ammonia (producing ammonia gas). Both cotton swabs ...
