Comparison between the classical model of rotation of Mars and the one proposed in this study. Temporal evolution of the 30-months solutions for the FCN period (a), the core amplification factor (b), and the precession rate (c), with the classical spin model (orange) and with the model with corrections on the rotation rate for the post-dust-storm period...
Credit: Unsplash. In the early 2000s, Jeff Bezos introduced the concept of mechanical turks, which involved hiring remote workers for menial tasks that computers found challenging. These workers were often paid low wages and collaborated with numerous others to complete small portions of larger computer projects. Bezos coined the term "artificial intelligence" to describe this fusion...
An isolated blob of turbulence is created by the repeated collision of eight vortex rings. (Left) Contained turbulence is illustrated by the breakdown of the blob's energy into the mean flow (yellow) and fluctuating (blue) components. (Right) Inside the chaotic blob, highly erratic tracer particle trajectories are shown. Credit: Matsuzawa et al. According to a...

The image shows a young scalloped hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini) in the vicinity of the ocean surface near Hawaii, with its mouth and gills visibly open. Credit: Biosphoto/Alamy Scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) have developed a distinctive adaptation to conserve body heat while hunting in frigid depths. In order to enhance their hunting capabilities, they...
The title "Early-life environment and the risk of eczema at 2 years—Meta-analyses of six Finnish birth cohorts" refers to a study that used data from six Finnish birth cohorts to investigate the relationship between early-life environmental factors and the development of eczema in children by the age of two years. The study conducted meta-analyses of...
Various materials are composed of crystals. Salt, sugar, snowflakes, and gemstones are some examples of substances that contain crystals, which are characterized by their well-organized, layered structures. Despite the prevalence of crystals in the natural world, much is still unknown about the processes that lead to their formation. Recent advancement in microscopy has helped shed...
