Scientists analyzed each element of the neutrino mass matrix belonging to leptons and showed theoretically that the intergenerational mixing of lepton flavors is large. Furthermore, by using the ...

Random Matrix Theory (RMT) has emerged as a potent framework to characterise the statistical properties of eigenvalues in large complex systems, bridging disciplines from quantum physics to number ...

Gene expression profiles of a cellular population, generated by single-cell RNA sequencing, contains rich information about biological state, including cell type, cell cycle phase, gene regulatory ...

SUPPOSE we had a theory that could explain everything. Not just atoms and quarks but aspects of our everyday lives too. Sound impossible? Perhaps not. It’s all part of the recent explosion of work in ...

Coffee beans in a jar and piles of rice or sand are examples of granular matter: materials composed of large numbers of macroscopic—rather than atomic scale—particles. Although granular matter is ...

Random matrices have been widely studied as neutral models for the stability of large systems and, in particular, ecosystems. However, many écologiste interpret stability in terms of low variability ...

Harry Markowitz famously quipped that diversification is the only free lunch in investing. What he did not say is that this is only true if correlations are known and stable over time. Markowitz’s ...

When any matter is divided into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually all you are left with—when it cannot be divided any further—is a particle. Currently, there are 12 different known elementary ...

Scientists are exploring a mysterious pattern, found in birds’ eyes, boxes of marbles and other surprising places, that is neither regular nor random. All complex correlated systems, from Arctic melt ...
