This paper introduces a simple way to estimate how resilient a changing system is when the system itself has trends or strong seasonal cycle
The paper argues that increases in the monetary base do not always push up consumer prices because newly created money can fall into differe
Researchers used a large optical lattice of ultracold atoms to create and probe extended regions that behave like a U(1) quantum spin liquid
This paper traces how a widely used name in particle physics — “neutrinoless” — came to define an important process by what is missing, rath
This paper reports an experiment that builds a compact silicon photonic chip that can separate and control multiple light beams at once. The
This paper studies a very small change to a classic opinion model and finds rich behavior. The authors build a voter-type model on a two-lay
Researchers report a way to grow tiny light-emitting islands called quantum dots on standard GaAs wafers so they emit in the telecom O‑band
This paper reports that highly optimized classical calculations can reach very high accuracy on a long‑standing hard problem in quantum chem
This paper shows that two things are needed to make data-driven reduced models of chaotic systems work well: randomness inside the model, an
Researchers have built a machine‑learned model that predicts how atoms in CrCoNi alloys interact. This model aims to let scientists run larg
