Stand‑up comedy shows are far more carefully structured and timed than they may first appear. Research based on performances of well-known comedians ...

Researchers propose a computational method to reveal the hidden timing structure of live performance. Vanessa C. Pope and ...

Centralized migration accelerates adaptation and drives parallel evolution, emphasizing the key influence of spatial organization on evolutionary dynamics across systems from pathogen transmission to ...

The second paper, "Fermion Chirality from Non-Bipartite Topology," applies this same lattice geometry to the quantum world. It proposes that the "handedness" (chirality) of subatomic particles is not ...

Mid- and far-infrared birefringent crystals are key functional materials for polarization control, laser technologies, and ...

To meet emerging regulatory expectations, AI governance in financial services must incorporate two complementary structural disciplines: architecture and topology. Architecture explains system design.

Order doesn’t always form perfectly—and those imperfections can be surprisingly powerful. In materials like liquid crystals, ...

Progress will come from systems that can combine language understanding with explicit spatial and structural reasoning.

Understanding how dendrites that form in thin films could be the key to next-generation materials for beyond-5G ...
