Quantum coin flip: In quantum mechanics, wavefunction collapse is traditionally regarded as an instantaneous event, but quantum state diffusion treats it as a gradual process, like a coin that wobbles ...

In this paper, continuous and discontinuous cases of a contact problem for two elastic layers supported by a Winkler foundation are analyzed using both analytical method and finite element method. In ...

Commonly, in Ordinary Differential Equations courses, equations with impulses or discontinuous forcing functions are studied. In this context, the Laplace Transform of the Dirac delta function and ...

In this tutorial, we will solve one of the exercises proposed in a previous issue. The solution lends itself to an interesting interpretation of the famous Gibbs-Wilbraham phenomenon. In this tutorial ...

This important study introduces a fully differentiable variant of the Gillespie algorithm as an approximate stochastic simulation scheme for complex chemical reaction networks, allowing kinetic ...

In the late 19th century, Karl Weierstrass invented a fractal-like function that was decried as nothing less than a “deplorable evil.” In time, it would transform the foundations of mathematics.

During the peer-review process the editor and reviewers write an eLife assessment that summarises the significance of the findings reported in the article (on a scale ranging from landmark to useful) ...

Decades of exercise research data support the common view that steady workouts over the long haul produce not only physical benefits but also improved brain function. But what about single bursts of ...

Introduction: Autistic individuals demonstrate greater variability and timing error in their motor performance than neurotypical individuals, likely due at least in ...
