A simple camera system paired with a sophisticated image-processing algorithm can achieve faster and more accurate reconstructions of particle flow. By replacing a complex hardware setup with simple ...

Every road surface tells a story in millimeters. The tiny peaks and valleys that make asphalt feel rough to a fingertip are ...

Reading time: 2 minutes The algorithm development was led by physics undergraduate Jeffrey G. Yepez. The algorithm development, led by physics undergraduate Jeffrey G. Yepez, helps scientists figure ...

This research develops a 3D non-hydrostatic model to simulate complex free-surface flows, including wave propagation under various conditions. The model discretizes the full 3D Reynolds-averaged ...

Thomas Gehrmann remembers the deluge of mathematical expressions that came cascading down his computer screen one day 20 years ago. He was trying to calculate the odds that three jets of elementary ...

Particles colliding in accelerators produce numerous cascades of secondary particles. The electronics processing the signals avalanching in from the detectors then have a fraction of a second in which ...

Optimization problems rarely have a single right answer. In engineering design, scheduling, and machine learning, decision ...

Whenever SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory's linear accelerator is on, packs of around a billion electrons each travel together at nearly the speed of light through metal piping. These electron ...
