Duke University engineers are using artificial intelligence to do something scientists have chased for centuries; turn messy, real-world motion into simple rules you can write down. The work comes ...

In a new study, scientists have investigated the pervasive low-rank hypothesis in complex systems, demonstrating that despite high-dimensional nonlinear dynamics, many real networks exhibit rapidly ...

From the perspective of complex systems, a new study reveals the universality, specificity, and explanatory power of underlying rules governing urban system evolution. The paper is authored by an ...

A system-engineering approach is essential for an efficient design in a complex system. Comprehension of conflicting requirements of participating subsystems and integrated designs are key elements ...

Analysing human societies as complex systems can provide an insight into historical processes and the strengths and weaknesses of capitalism. Analysing human societies as complex systems can provide ...
