A team of engineers at Rice University and Kyung Hee University has developed a soft, shape-shifting mechanical surface that ...

This study challenges the long-held notion that immune cells migrate through tissues without gripping the surrounding matrix, relying on a friction-based amoeboid migration mode. We show that when ...

The Black-Scholes model assumes constant volatility a convenient fiction that breaks immediately when you look at real option prices. Implied volatility varies across strikes (skew) and maturities ...

Wetting of rough surfaces is ubiquitous in nature and plays an important role in many natural and industrial processes. However, not much is known about the nanoscale details of the wetting. This gap ...

Mean shift clustering is a centroid-based algorithm effective for unsupervised learning applications. The algorithm shifts data points towards the mean of surrounding points to form clusters. Mean ...

The geometrical similarity of helicoidal fiber arrangement in many biological fibrous extracellular matrices, such as bone, plant cell wall, or arthropod cuticle, to that of cholesteric liquid ...
