“The simple mechanical model we propose here, a viscoelastic toy model, provides a novel scenario to explain the static friction paradox in stick-slip instability without artificial friction ...

The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI), particularly large language models (LLMs), has marked a transformative shift in data analysis, interpretation and content generation. These ...

A deceptively simple mathematical model can describe how the soil responds to environmental change. Using just two variables, the model shows that changes in pH levels consistently result in three ...
