A recent study published in Environmental Research suggests that breathing polluted air may alter the physical development of ...

Florida State University scientists have engineered a new crystal that forces atomic magnets to swirl into complex, repeating patterns. The effect comes from mixing two nearly identical compounds ...

Nature follows mathematical rules and creates repeating patterns across completely different organisms and environments. These patterns appear so consistently that […] ...

Tessellations aren’t just eye-catching patterns—they can be used to crack complex mathematical problems. By repeatedly reflecting shapes to tile a surface, researchers uncovered a method that links ...

Healthy aging induces parallel changes in brain functional activity and structural morphology, yet the interplay between these changes remains unclear. Prof. Yuhui Du's team at the College of Computer ...

The research began by asking whether a minimal structural pattern could be meaningfully applied across very different domains. To explore this, the researchers introduced a four-phase structure — ...

Researchers from MIT, Northeastern University, and Meta recently released a paper suggesting that large language models (LLMs) similar to those that power ChatGPT may sometimes prioritize sentence ...

Content chunking is a technique for breaking down information into smaller, focused sections that make content more scannable, comprehensible, and actionable for both human readers and AI systems. And ...
