When any matter is divided into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually all you are left with—when it cannot be divided any further—is a particle. Currently, there are 12 different known elementary ...

Random matrices are used for the statistical analysis of large samples but find also application in various fields of physics. In particular they became of interest around 1990 in string theory as a ...

Random Matrix Theory (RMT) is the study of statistical properties of matrices with randomly chosen entries, originally developed to model complex quantum systems. At large matrix dimension, eigenvalue ...

A well-known problem in numerical ecology is how to recombine presence-absence matrices without altering row and column totals. A few solutions have been proposed, but all of them present some issues ...

Scientists are exploring a mysterious pattern, found in birds’ eyes, boxes of marbles and other surprising places, that is neither regular nor random. A potent theory has emerged explaining a ...

Scientists analyzed each element of the neutrino mass matrix belonging to leptons and showed theoretically that the intergenerational mixing of lepton flavors is large. Furthermore, by using the ...
