Alternate black hole models suggest that quantum effects may eliminate the need for singularities
A singular black hole and non-stringed instrument alternative. Credit: Sissa Mediaab. Background images sourced from ESO/Cambridge Astronomical Survey Unit (eso.org/public/images/ESO1101A/) Ever since the theory of general relativity pointed out the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one unique feature. It’s central idiosyncratic. This hides behind the horizon of events where the laws of physics governing…

3D dynamic models provide a more accurate hazard assessment of earthquakes
Earthquake background and fault model for the 2023 Türkiye Kahramanmaraş earthquake doublet. Credit: Communications Earth & Environment (2025). doi:10.1038/s43247-025-02205-4 An international study published in Communications Earth & Environment proceeds with earthquake simulations to better predict the rupture process of major earthquakes. Using data from the February 2023 Turkish earthquake, scientists have developed a detailed 3D dynamic model that will better…

Evidence for a dwarf galaxy without dark matter challenges traditional galaxy formation models
FCC 224 G475 As an example of Galfit modeling. From left to right, the three panels display the original image, masked image, model, and residuals. The image shown here has three times the size of the main axis RE of the FCC 224, but the actual input image to the GALFIT includes the entire UVI chip (~155” x 75”). Credit:…

AI models can predict lightning-guided wildfires with unprecedented accuracy
Credit: Frank Cone of Pexel The new AI (AI) model developed by Israeli researchers promises to revolutionize wildfire prediction, with a special focus on lightning-induced flames that are becoming increasingly common due to climate change. The new AI model can predict where and when a lightning strike is most likely to cause wildfires, achieving accuracy of over 90%. Dr. Oren…

AI models predict drug properties to speed up development
Images from this study show correlations between pairs of pharmacokinetic (PK) traits of a single drug. Each drug has its own set of chemical profiles and PK property values. The goal of the figure is to show similarity of distributions between actual pairs of correlations of PK characteristics from in vitro studies and studies generated by researcher models.

AI models transform material designs by predicting and explaining synthetic properties
General purpose LLM is fine-tuned with the inorganic material knowledge dataset and used to predict the synthesisability and precursor compounds of hypothetical inorganic materials. Credit: Angewandte Chemie International Edition The researchers successfully developed techniques to use large-scale language models (LLMs) to predict the synthesis potential of new materials and interpret the basis of such predictions. The team was led by…

Computational models enhance protein kinase target predictions for treatment
Success rates of single target RF models in predicting kinase inhibitory activity of selected eight compounds. Success rates represent the percentage of correctly predicted kinase activity obtained for each compound for 20 experimentally tested targets. Credit: International Journal of Molecular Sciences (2025). doi:10.3390/ijms26052157 Research on protein kinases provides an opportunity to explore molecular targets in the body to treat diseases…

Employment Strategy: Researchers propose models to maximize the success of professional recruitment
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain When it comes to hiring new staff, large companies often have to choose from hundreds of candidates. This is a time-consuming and resource-intensive process. Does mathematics help streamline these steps? Perhaps yes, at least in the broadest sense. A paper published in the Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment by Boston University statistical physicist Pavel…
