Neutral gas inside the prestellar core L1544 was measured moving slightly faster than charged gas, providing the first clear detection of ambipolar diffusion in such a core. The tiny speed difference ...

Adrop of food coloring slowly spreading in a glass of water is driven by a process known as diffusion. While the mathematics of diffusion have been known for many years, how this process works in ...

Several recent experiments identify unusual patterns in particle diffusion, hinting at some underlying complexity in the process which physicists have yet to discover. Through new analysis published ...

High-energy particles in radiation belts can look as if they are spreading randomly even when their underlying motion remains predictable. A moving spacecraft can lose sight of fine particle ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

On Thursday, Inception Labs released Mercury Coder, a new AI language model that uses diffusion techniques to generate text faster than conventional models. Unlike traditional models that create text ...
