Cities obey the same laws of living systems, researchers claim

An EPFL study has found that urban areas follow the same universal rules observed in the natural world. From population size to carbon emissions and road networks—could the key to sustainable urbanization lie in the very ...

Universal method unlocks entropy calculation for liquids

A groundbreaking new method developed at the University of Osaka calculates the entropy of liquids using a non-empirical approach, requiring only the atomic species as input. The paper is published in the Journal of Physics: ...

A data-driven model to help avoid ecosystem collapse

Tipping points are the death of ecosystems. So scientists watch as warning signs gradually worsen until an ecosystem reaches the point of no return, when animal populations suddenly collapse. While tipping points can sometimes ...
