- Bach, Mozart or jazz: Scientists provide a quantitative measure of variability in music pieces
Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) have investigated to which extent a piece of music can evoke expectations about its progression. They were able to determine differences in how far compositions of different composers can be anticipated. In total, the scientists quantitatively analyzed more than 550 pieces from classical and jazz music.
- Flow of the future: AI models tackle complex particle drag coefficients
Accurately modeling particle movement through fluids is crucial in fields ranging from chemical engineering to aerospace. The drag coefficient, which influences how particles settle and move in fluid environments, is a core factor in these calculations. While the behavior of spherical particles is well understood, predicting the drag coefficient of irregularly shaped particles has long been a challenge. These complexities have highlighted the need for a more sophisticated approach to model particle-fluid interactions, especially for non-spherical particles.
- The Dark Tower
This eerie, dark silhouette is a cometary globule designated GN 16.43.7.01. Despite their name, cometary globules have nothing to do with comets, beyond having a similar shape of a dusty head with a tail.
- Legendary star lacks evidence for large planet formation
In the 1997 movie "Contact," adapted from Carl Sagan's 1985 novel, the lead character, scientist Ellie Arroway, takes a space-alien-built wormhole ride to the star Vega. She emerges inside a snowstorm of debris encircling the star – but no obvious planets are visible. It looks like the filmmakers got it right.
- Research points to Tetelictic as a possible birthplace of the Totonac culture.
Archaeological research at Tetelictic in Mexico’s State of Puebla has revealed the historical importance of this ancient site as a major ceremonial complex with astronomical alignments. Located in the municipality of Teteles de Ávila Castillo, Tetelictic was first reported in 1939 by Vicente Lombardo Toledano but only began systematic excavation in 2014, led by the The post Research points to Tetelictic as a possible birthplace of the Totonac culture. appeared first on ArchaeologyNews Online Magazine.
- 15,000-year-old evidence of medicinal plant use discovered in Morocco’s Taforalt Cave
Archaeologists have uncovered compelling evidence of early medicinal plant use by prehistoric humans, dating back approximately 15,000 years, in Morocco’s Taforalt Cave (Grotte des Pigeons). This significant find, published in Nature and led by an international team, was coordinated by Morocco’s National Institute of Archaeology and Heritage Sciences (INSAP). Researchers found charred remains of the The post 15,000-year-old evidence of medicinal plant use discovered in Morocco’s Taforalt Cave appeared first on ArchaeologyNews Online Magazine.
