Accurate and timely prediction of short-term rainfall is crucial for reducing the damages caused by heavy rainfall events. Therefore, various precipitation nowcasting models have been proposed.

When Brazilian architect Marcos Acayaba recommended Pedro Saito to us, we knew he had his reasons. Award-winning Ubatuba-born Saito not only graduated from the University of São Paulo with a highly ...

Mathematicians have long been fascinated by objects that exhibit exceptionally nice combinatorial properties. However, it is often difficult to determine whether objects satisfying a given ...

Last summer in Barcelona, Joachim Kock floated the idea that there might be a connection between two invariants of graphs: the Tutte polynomial and the magnitude function. Here I’ll explain what these ...

Understanding how interdependence among systems affects cascading behaviors is increasingly important across many fields of science and engineering. Inspired by cascades of load shedding in coupled ...

We have cloned a gene encoding a fluorescent protein from a stony coral, Trachyphyllia geoffroyi, which emits green, yellow, and red light. The protein, named Kaede, includes a tripeptide, His-Tyr-Gly ...
