(Phys.org) —A team of physicists from Israel and the U.S. has discovered that mathematical modeling suggests modern electrical networks may be more vulnerable to cascading collapse than has been previously thought. In their ...
(Phys.org) —A team of researchers at the University of California has developed a model that might lead to a better way to control natural cascading events such as landslides, earthquakes, or even neural networks. In their ...
Mitochondria, the organelles that supply the cell with energy, are highly dynamic and can link up to form complex tubular networks. A new study shows that this response can transiently compensate for a shortfall in energy ...
