“Crystal Math” uses equations—and minimal resources—to rapidly predict the 3D structures of molecular crystals, which could speed up R&D for drugs and electronic devices. Researchers at New York ...

Engineers at MIT have turned one of computing’s biggest headaches, waste heat, into the main act. By sculpting “dust-sized” silicon structures that steer heat as precisely as electrical current, they ...

A simple mathematical model predicts the development of cultural structures observed in human societies Figure 1: Bonds with in-laws play a role in the development of complex social structures known ...
