Published Training helps teachers anticipate how students with learning disabilities might solve problems
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers found that a four-week training course made a substantial difference in helping special education teachers anticipate different ways students with learning disabilities might solve math problems.
Published Huge volcanic eruption disrupted climate but not human evolution
(via sciencedaily.com) A massive volcanic eruption in Indonesia about 74,000 years ago likely caused severe climate disruption in many areas of the globe, but early human populations were sheltered from the worst effects, according to a new study.
Published Supervolcano fed from Earth's mantle caused crustal plates to rotate
(via sciencedaily.com) The plates of the Earth's crust perform complicated movements that can be attributed to quite simple mechanisms. That is the short version of the explanation of a rift that began to tear the world apart over a length of several thousand kilometers 105 million years ago.
Published To predict underwater volcano eruptions, scientist looks at images from space
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new study monitored satellite images to obtain sea discoloration data as a novel indicator in detecting if an underwater volcano's eruption is imminent.
Published Like a molten pancake
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Why magma flowed along a curved pathway during the 2018 eruption of a Galapagos volcano is explained by a new model.
Published Thinking in 3D improves mathematical skills
(via sciencedaily.com) Spatial reasoning ability in small children reflects how well they will perform in mathematics later. Researchers recently came to this conclusion, making the case for better cultivation of spatial reasoning.
Published These cognitive exercises help young children boost their math skills, study shows
(via sciencedaily.com) Young children who practice visual working memory and reasoning tasks improve their math skills more than children who focus on spatial rotation exercises, according to a large study. The findings support the notion that training spatial cognition can enhance academic performance and that when it comes to math, the type of training matters.
Published Algorithms improve how we protect our data
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists have developed algorithms that more efficiently measure how difficult it would be for an attacker to guess secret keys for cryptographic systems. The approach could reduce the computational complexity needed to validate encryption security.
Published Silicon could be a photonics game-changer
(via sciencedaily.com) New research has shown that silicon could be one of the most powerful materials for photonic informational manipulation - opening up new possibilities for the production of lasers and displays.
Published Auxin makes the spirals in gerbera inflorescences follow the Fibonacci sequence
(via sciencedaily.com) The meristem of the gerbera is patterned on the molecular level already at a stage where no primordia or other changes are discernible by even an electron microscope.
Published Basketball Mathematics scores big at inspiring kids to learn
(via sciencedaily.com) New study with 756 1st through 5th graders demonstrates that a six-week mashup of hoops and math has a positive effect on their desire to learn more, provides them with an experience of increased self-determination and grows math confidence among youth.
Published Do school-based interventions help improve reading and math in at-risk children?
(via sciencedaily.com) School-based interventions that target students with, or at risk of, academic difficulties in kindergarten to grade 6 have positive effects on reading and mathematics, according to a new article.
Published Big data tells story of diversity, migration of math's elite
(via sciencedaily.com) Research uses artificial intelligence to map connections between the world's top mathematicians.
Published Sum of cubes: New math solution for 3
(via sciencedaily.com) After cracking the 'sum of cubes' puzzle for 42, mathematicians discover a new solution for 3.
Published Laser system generates random numbers at ultrafast speeds
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists have developed a system that can generate random numbers over a hundred times faster than current technologies, paving the way towards faster, cheaper, and more secure data encryption in today's digitally connected world.
Published The Ramanujan Machine: Researchers develop 'conjecture generator'
(via sciencedaily.com) Using AI and computer automation, researchers have developed a 'conjecture generator' that creates mathematical conjectures, which are considered to be the starting point for developing mathematical theorems.
Published Researchers use deep learning to identify gene regulation at single-cell level
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers describe how they developed a deep-learning framework to observe gene regulation at the cellular level.
Published Traditional model for disease spread may not work in COVID-19
(via sciencedaily.com) A mathematical model that can help project the contagiousness and spread of infectious diseases like the seasonal flu may not be the best way to predict the continuing spread of the novel coronavirus, especially during lockdowns that alter the normal mix of the population.
Published To the brain, reading computer code is not the same as reading language
(via sciencedaily.com) Neuroscientists have found reading computer code does not rely on the regions of the brain involved in language processing. Instead, it activates the 'multiple demand network,' which is also recruited for complex cognitive tasks such as solving math problems or crossword puzzles.
Published Quantum magic squares
(via sciencedaily.com) The magic of mathematics is particularly reflected in magic squares. Recently, quantum physicists and mathematicians introduced the notion of the quantum magic square, and for the first time studied in detail the properties of this quantum version of magic squares.
