Scientists use deep neural networks to map elusive liquid-liquid transition points
Left: Snapshot of molecular dynamics simulation of supercooled water. Right: Phase diagram of supercooled water predicted by molecular dynamics simulation using DNN@MB-Pol potential. The predicted liquid-liquid critical points are shown as stars at the edge of the widom line (blue), corresponding to the trajectory of maximum variation along the isobar. Also shown are coexistence lines (green), LDL (red) and HDL…

Global research points to clear solutions to major declines in sharks and rays
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A new global study blames overfishing for the more than 50% decline in shark and ray populations since 1970, but also offers a clear path forward to prevent further declines in their numbers. Professor Colin Simpfendorfer of James Cook University was a co-author of the analysis, published in the journal Science. He said overfishing has shown…

Report points out that local “support” is needed for community sports to thrive
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Whether it’s a children’s soccer league run by parent volunteers or an adult hockey team where players spend as much time socializing as they do shooting pucks, amateur sports are important for improving community engagement and public health. It plays a role. A new report by Brock University researchers highlights the importance of local sports groups…
