Latest and Breaking Mathematics News
U-M study challenges notion that umpires call more strikes for pitchers of same race
(University of Michigan) A University of Michigan study challenges previous research that suggests umpire discrimination exists in Major League Baseball.
Researchers explain magnetic field misbehavior in solar flares
(Johns Hopkins University) When a solar flare erupts from the sun, its magnetic fields sometime break a widely accepted rule of physics. Why? Now we know.
Making chaos visible
(University of Vienna) Exactly 50 years after the US-American meteorologist Edward Lorenz discovered chaos (remember the "butterfly effect?") the topic is still as fascinating as ever. A new visualization technique developed at the University of Vienna helps to make chaos visible to the naked eye. The method, which is being published in "Royal Society Interface," allows for the intuitive interpretation of chaotic or nearly chaotic phenomena, and thus makes the fascinating world of chaos theory more accessible to the scientific community.
DFG establishes 11 new research training groups
(Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft is establishing 11 new Research Training Groups to further support early career researchers in Germany. This decision was made by the relevant Grants Committee in Bonn. Funding of approximately 39 million euros has been awarded to the new programs for an initial period of four and a half years.
Climate scientists and finance experts to study the value of climate information
(American Meteorological Society) The American Meteorological Society will assemble leading members of the climate science and finance communities June 3-4, 2013 in Washington, DC to explore climate information needs for financial decision-making. Workshop organizers aim to 1) pinpoint what types of climate information are helpful for decisions involving major capital outlays; and 2) describe mechanisms of collaboration between the climate science and financial communities to leverage such information.
Researchers reveal model of Sun's magnetic field
(University of Leeds) Researchers at the Universities of Leeds and Chicago have uncovered an important mechanism behind the generation of astrophysical magnetic fields such as that of the Sun.
Research at the cutting edge of knowledge
(Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo) The Brazilian funding agency for scientific and technological research São Paulo Research Foundation, FAPESP, based in the state of São Paulo, announced an investment estimated in US$680 million to support 17 Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers for a period of up to eleven years. Each selected RIDC must develop opportunities to have its research results contribute to commercially and/or socially relevant high-impact applications, as well as contributing to education and dissemination of knowledge.
Iowa VP for Research addresses next-generation supercomputers at congressional hearing
(University of Iowa) Daniel Reed, the University of Iowa's vice president for research and economic development, will urge congressional lawmakers to support exascale computing, the next-generation of supercomputers designed to tackle complex societal questions, from climate change to the human mind. Reed will testify at a hearing of the House Subcommittee on Energy on Wednesday, May 22.
Soft matter offers new ways to study how ordered materials arrange themselves
(Georgia Institute of Technology) A fried breakfast food popular in Spain provided the inspiration for the development of doughnut-shaped droplets that may provide scientists with a new approach for studying fundamental issues in physics, mathematics and materials.
CosmosID unveils new tool for faster, specific and accurate testing of probiotics products
(Buckley & Kaldenbach, Inc.) The FDA and CosmosID have conducted a side-by-side analysis of commercially available probiotics to compare the identity of species and strains present in the products to what was stated on their respective labels.
