One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

In her first U.K. solo exhibition at Thaddaeus Ropac, Eva Helene Pade transforms painting into a choreographed cosmos of smoke, light, and collective emotion. Read our pick of the best London art ...

Abstract: Insights into wave propagation in prestressed porous rocks have great interest in geophysical applications, such as remote monitoring in situ stresses. Wave-induced small dynamic fields ...

First-order derivatives: n additional function calls are needed. Second-order derivatives based on gradient calls, when the "grd" module is specified (Dennis and Schnabel 1983): n additional gradient ...

Abstract: We present a computationally efficient algorithm which combines the finite element method with Padé approximation. The combination is used to solve the problem of transverse magnetic and ...
