BUFFALO, N.Y. — One of the great joys in mathematics is the ability to use it to describe phenomena seen in the physical world, says University at Buffalo mathematician Gino Biondini. With UB ...

Our research is in the field of nonlinear waves, lying at the nexus of applied mathematics and physics. Mathematically, the nonlinear waves that we investigate are solutions to nonlinear, dispersive ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The best perk of Alberto Maspero’s job, he says, is the view from his window. Situated on a hill above the ancient port city of Trieste, ...

The soliton structure plays a fundamental role in many physical systems due to its fundamental feature: its shape remains unchanged after the collision with another soliton in the case of integrable ...

Researchers at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge have demonstrated a new way to control radiation in the terahertz range—an often-overlooked part of the electromagnetic spectrum—with ...

This story was originally published in UCSB’s The Current. It was an earworm that lasted four dozen years, but it wasn’t a jingle, it was an algorithm. An equation George Legrady came across in 1986 ...

From Quanta Magazine (find original story here). In the 1950s, Philip Anderson, a physicist at Bell Laboratories, discovered a strange phenomenon. In some situations where it seems as though waves ...

Two mathematicians have published a new paper that advances the art -- or shall we say, the math -- of describing a wave. The study explores what happens when a regular wave pattern has small ...
