What do a 20th-century physicist, an 18th-century statistician and an ancient Greek philosopher have in common? They all knew how to extrapolate with incredible accuracy. Columnist Jacob Aron explains ...

Abstract: Tracking inertia in real-time has emerged as a crucial topic for the modern low-inertia power system. However, in practice, large disturbances are infrequent, posing a challenge for routine ...

Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a new way to determine atomic structures from nanocrystals previously considered unusable, ...

Abstract: Reliability analysis for structural systems relies on an accurate surrogate model. Currently, several multiple Kriging methods are utilized to calculate the failure probability. However, ...
