A group of physicists at the University of Cambridge announce the development of the first mathematical model that can explain the shape of a ponytail, and can also quantify the curliness of human hair. Experts have been interested in the properties of hair since the time of Leonardo da Vinci.
According to the inves... |

A group of investigators in the United States, based at the University of Miami (UM), announce the creation of a new computer model and simulation that can account for how oil will behave during and after a major spill. The computerized tool can theoretically predict the location of oil masses that sink during such a... |

As all parents know, small children have a variety of cries that they employ in very specific situations. They have one for when they need their diapers changed, and one for when they're hungry. They also alert parents differently when they are in pain, or when they are sleepy. These emotions, or rather the key ... |

The surface of Mars is largely recognized by three things, namely that it's reddish, has a lot of sand storms ravaging it, and features a multitude of craters, each of them of varied ages and depths. The rover Spirit, for example, is currently stuck inside one of these craters, while its twin, Opportunity, is, a... |

Climate scientists say that one of the reasons why Asia is cooler than other regions of the world is the fact that it generates a lot of pollution. Counter-intuitively, in addition to destroying the environment below, the thick layers of haze that cover most of the continent, especially above China and India, also re... |

Scientists have sought for a long time a potential solution to a very disturbing problem for the game industry, namely how to ensure that the most accurate environment is portrayed in computer games. At this point, animators have two options in this regard, to either create a static background, or proceed to model ea... |

Healthcare experts often have a hard time identifying a person's history of abuse, and they are, at times, faced with people, mostly women, who cover up for their attackers out of fear of retribution. Because doctors are human, they can be deceived by these victims, despite their best intentions. But a new compu... |

Perhaps the greatest problem with treatments available today for most conditions is the fact that they address the symptoms and not the root causes of the conditions. Analyzing the interactions of proteins, which occur at very tiny scales, scientists need powerful observational tools. However, not even the most advan... |

The future of nanoengineering, and of any science involving the use of nanomaterials for that matter, is entirely dependent on tools that allow for precise measurements of the events unfolding at the nanoscale, while at the same time correcting errors that may appear in the process. Experts at the Georgia Institute o... |

According to the most complex computer simulation on the climate future of our planet, it would appear that predictions first made about six years ago were off. That is to say, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) experts, using the Integrated Global Systems Model, found that the situation might be a lot worse... |

In reality, it's very difficult to predict or estimate what happened to the Universe in its earliest days, but computer and mathematical models have over the years yielded numerous interesting theories, which can neither be proven, nor disproved by experts. The most recent model that emerged following complex si... |

The Blue Brain Project is an initiative that was started by IBM and EPFL in July 2005, with the purpose of reverse-engineering a small portion of the mammalian brain, including that of humans. The ultimate goal of the research is to understand the functions and dysfunctions of the organ, by analyzing and simulating i... |

Understanding exactly how supermassive black holes were formed is a long-standing dream that astronomers have, as these behemoths of the skies could be the key to unlocking some of the secrets of the Universe. But, although theories of how they came to be are many, none manages to explain all aspects of these complex... |

The US Army is currently engaged in a research process aimed at providing it with accurate predictions on the future behavior of various cultural and political groups in the world that are now in the data base. For the successful completion of this initiative, Jerzy Rozenblit, a professor at the University of Arizona... |

University of Copenhagen scientists, led by Gary Shaffer, attempted to answer the very serious question raised by increased global pollution – what will become of the planet in the long run? In an attempt to provide the best answer, the team used the most up-to-date computer models to predict changes in our pla... |

Everyone knows that when a water drop falls on a stretch of water it generates a back-jet, a column of the liquid that shoots upwards at very high speed, and then falls back in. Researchers from the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM), the University of Twente, in the Netherlands, and the University o... |

Scientists from Penn State's College of Information Sciences and Technology managed to create the first computer model predictive of human action. The program, named Soar, was able to foretell accurately the times 10 students needed to complete basic trouble-shooting tasks, such as identifying misfit components ... |

For those who aren't yet aware of MacTracker (which in itself is unforgivable), the software provides detailed information on every Apple computer ever made. Whether you are curious about the history and development of a Mac over time, need to know the specifications of any particular Mac, this program was writt... |
