Credit: SMART FM E-scooters as a new micro-mobility service: SMART researchers explore the potential of e-scooter sharing as a replacement for short-distance transit in Singapore SMART researchers found that e-scooters are not only a last-mile solution to complement transit services, but also provide a mobility service for short-distance transit trips - Through a stated preference survey and mixed logit models, SMART researchers found that fare, transit transfer, and transit walking distance are significant factors driving the use of e-scooters as an alternative means of transit. The uncertai...

 E-Mail The Research Training Group (RTG) 2670 "Beyond Amphiphilicity: Self-organisation of soft matter via multiple noncovalent interactions" has begun its work at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU). Amphiphilicity, a fundamental ordering principle for molecules, will be the starting point of the future research projects. The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation, DFG) will provide a first round of funding for the project of around 4.5 million euros until 2025. Oil and water do not mix; no matter how much they are stirred together they always separate. "Bu...

 E-Mail IMAGE: Computational modeling shows that mutations on SARS-CoV-2's spike protein that enhance the virus' ability to bind to the ACE2 receptor occur in two clusters or mutation "hotspots. " view more  Credit: Image courtesy of Hin Hark Gan and Kristin Gunsalus, NYU's Department of Biology SARS-CoV-2 has evolved to acquire mutations on the spike protein--the part of the virus that protrudes from its surface and latches onto cells to infect them--that enhance the coronavirus' ability to bind to human cells or evade antibodies. A new study from the Centers for Genomics and Syst...

But how about civil engineering and city planning? How might machine- and deep-learning help us create safer, more sustainable, and resilient built environments? A team of researchers from the NSF NHERI SimCenter, a computational modeling and simulati...

[Brown University] -- The field of mathematical topology is often described in terms of donuts and pretzels. To most of us, the two differ in the way they taste or in their compatibility with morning coffee. But to a topologist, the only difference between the two is that one has a single hole an...
