DÉCRYPTAGE - Estelle Youssouffa, députée de l’archipel, reproche à l’État son «impuissance» et sa «passivité» en matière de lutte contre l’immigration clandestine. Le Figaro fait le point sur le risqu...

An OpenAI model solved the 80-year-old unit distance problem, disproving a major conjecture in discrete geometry and marking a milestone in AI-driven mathematics.

Testing, sequencing, and clinical trial efforts spring to life as Bundibugyo virus spreads

We are all having to keep revising upwards our assessments of the mathematical capabilities of large language models. I have just made a fairly large revision as a result of ChatGPT 5.5 Pro, to whi…

Counting chemical isomers with multivariate generating functions - Volume 14

Message passing, also known as belief propagation, is a versatile framework for analyzing models defined on graphs. Its most prototypical application is percolation; yet, the interpretation of the mes...

On scooping, citation failures, and the many quiet ways intellectual credit fails to reach the people who earned it — by Ronaldo Menezes.

The basic and effective reproduction numbers are widely used metrics for characterizing the dynamics of infectious disease epidemics. However, the interpretation of these numbers is based on the assum...

A case that helps sort out the questions for an AI policy at SocArXiv.

Herd immunity is shaped not only by the infection capacity of a spreading epidemic or the contact structure of the hosting population, but also by how and under what circumstances individuals acquire ...

Snell et al. develop sequencing methodology to identify full-length spike haplotypes and show that persistent SARS-CoV-2 infections drive divergent haplotype emergence, accelerating viral evolution an...

People tend to connect with similar others in different groups, shaping how ideas and diseases spread. The authors introduce a data-validated model that captures homophily across group sizes and show ...

Temporal sequences of discrete events that describe natural and social processes are often driven by non-Poisson dynamics. In addition to a heavy-tailed interev

You will be working in the research group of one of the PIs of the projects, but in collaboration with the others. The PIs are Talayeh Aledavood, Juhi Kulshrestha, and Mikko Kivelä.

Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system.

Percolation frameworks have been used to characterize the robustness of infrastructural networks. Here, authors introduce a percolation-based framework to study resource consumption and network effect...

Unknown node attributes in complex networks may introduce community structures that are important to distinguish from those driven by known attributes. We propose a block-corrected modularity that dis...

Eighty years after the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, it is crucial that witness accounts are saved. Here is what one man told me.

We previously announced that Mendeley Desktop would no longer be available for new downloads and installations (more details here). Many of you told us how much you love Mendeley Desktop …

When a fraction of a population becomes immune to an infectious disease, the population-wide infection risk decreases nonlinearly due to collective...
