A research team has developed a novel method for estimating the predictability of complex dynamical systems. Their work, "Time-lagged recurrence: A data-driven method to estimate the predictability of ...

Scientists have developed a new method to analyze the dynamical, out-of-equilibrium properties of complex disordered systems, such as gold with magnetic impurities or opinions spreading on social ...

In this new work, statistical mechanics is used to understand how different mathematical models "compete" when trying to explain a system. This matters because many scientific fields rely on ...

A new technique incorporates many different building blocks of cellular metamaterials into one unified graph-based representation. This can be used to make a user-friendly interface that can quickly ...

Ben Fulcher receives funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council. Complexity is all around us, from the daily fluctuations of financial markets to the intricate web of neurons in our ...

Demonstrating the applicability of αη across a diverse range of systems. These include a canonical dynamical system (Rössler attractor), simulation data for slow earthquakes (spring-slider system), a ...

In physics, a "disordered system" refers to a physical system whose components – e.g. its atoms – are not organized in any discernible way. Like a drawer full of random socks, a disordered system ...
