Abstract: Model predictive controllers use dynamics models to solve constrained optimal control problems. However, computational requirements for real-time control have limited their use to systems ...

The 747 was always seen as the biggest to take to the skies. That was until the A380 came along. Here is how its arrival caused headaches for airports ...

Few companies have managed to build a reputation quite like Dyson. The company started with the world-famous Dyson DC01 ...

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding ...

Fluid dynamics is the study of the motion of liquids, gases and plasmas. Flow is dependent on the intrinsic properties of the matter itself, such as compressibility, viscosity and density. Example ...

For example, they found that immune cells called lymphocytes play a major role in driving inflammation in the aging brain in a very specific way. "Their activity is concentrated in certain regions, ...

On the latest episode of the Data Center Frontier Show podcast, DCF Editor in Chief Matt Vincent spoke with Steve Altizer, CEO and President of Compu Dynamics, about what AI infrastructure now demands ...

Abstract: Real-life systems are often faced with the problem of having to adapt to changing operating conditions. For example, aging of system’s components, or changes in the environmental conditions ...

In a research project that has real implications for their regular laboratory work, a pair of physicists at Brown University shed light on everyday fluid dynamics in the kitchen. PROVIDENCE, R.I.

Forward-looking: For thousands of years, mechanical gears have driven human invention – from ancient chariots to robotic arms. Now, for the first time, engineers have built a gear that doesn't rely on ...

If you're a soccer fan, you're familiar with this common sight: A penalty kick is in place, with a "wall" of defenders lined up in front of the goal, ready to leap to try to block the ball if it sails ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or mathematician to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the ...
