How number systems shape our thinking, and what this means for learning, language and culture

Most of us have little trouble working out how many milliliters are in 2.4 liters of water (it's 2,400). But the same can't be said when we're asked how many minutes are in 2.4 hours (it's 144).

A century-old mixing puzzle: AI helps predict and understand viscous fingering

Viscous fingering occurs when a thinner fluid pushes a thicker, more viscous fluid in a porous medium, like underground rock, ...

Numerical Solution of the Fokker-Planck Equation by Spectral Collocation and Finite-Element Methods for Stochastic Magnetization Dynamics

Abstract: The spectral collocation method and the finite-element method (FEM) are employed to numerically solve the Fokker–Planck (FP) equation. The methods are validated by comparison with an ...
