Oklahoma City and a growing number of NBA teams can lose stars and still win because their advantage is built on structure, not one player.

A new theory suggests that gravity could possibly be the result of entropy. If true, this would mean that everything in the universe would fall apart if it all remained unchanged. This theory tries to ...

Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, public reviews, and a provisional response from the authors. Summary: In this ...

In this study, the authors offer a theoretical explanation for the emergence of nematic bundles in the actin cortex, carrying implications for the assembly of actomyosin stress fibers. As such, the ...

Why do loyal fans attending a football game dress up in their favorite team’s hats, shirts and jackets and paint their faces with the team logo; and why do loyal fans stand as one, even among ...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Dozens of people have agreed to deflection rather than going to jail for possessing small amounts of hard drugs in the first two months of Multnomah County’s new program. The ...

Light emission by metals at room temperature is quenched by fast relaxation processes. Nevertheless, Mooradian reported in 1969 the observation of photoluminescence by metals pumped by a laser. While ...

Fredric Jameson, who died this week at age 90, was one of the last high theorists still standing. A key figure in the development of Marxist criticism, postmodernism and cultural theory, his works ...

In this paper, we examine models of a black hole’s deflection angle in the context of gauged super-gravity, using the black hole’s optical metric. We compute Gaussian curvature and the Gauss-Bonnet ...

A structural analysis of framed structures using the finite element method considering both the Bernoulli- Euler and the Timoshenko beam theories can be performed adopting cubic interpolation ...
