- Thu, 02 May 2024 15:37:55 +0000: Toxic chemicals can be detected with new AI method - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Researchers have developed an AI method that improves the identification of toxic chemicals -- based solely on knowledge of the molecular structure. The method can contribute to better control and understanding of the ever-growing number of chemicals used in society, and can also help reduce the amount of animal tests. - Fri, 26 Apr 2024 20:52:24 +0000: The end of the quantum tunnel - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Quantum mechanical effects such as radioactive decay, or more generally: 'tunneling', display intriguing mathematical patterns. Researchers now show that a 40-year-old mathematical discovery can be used to fully encode and understand this structure. - Fri, 26 Apr 2024 20:52:06 +0000: From disorder to order: Flocking birds and 'spinning' particles - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Researchers have demonstrated that ferromagnetism, an ordered state of atoms, can be induced by increasing particle motility and that repulsive forces between atoms are sufficient to maintain it. The discovery not only extends the concept of active matter to quantum systems but also contributes to the development of novel technologies that rely on the magnetic properties of particles, such as magnetic memory and quantum computing. - Tue, 23 Apr 2024 15:31:04 +0000: Manipulating the geometry of 'electron universe' in magnets - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
Researchers have discovered a unique property, the quantum metric, within magnetic materials, altering the 'electron universe' geometry. This distinct electric signal challenges traditional electrical conduction and could revolutionize spintronic devices. - Mon, 22 Apr 2024 16:07:19 +0000: New sensing checks for 3D printed products could overhaul manufacturing sector - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
