The authors test the durability of synthetic versus non-synthetic fabrics though loose thread counts, color fade over time, and shrinkage tests.
Read More...A comparative analysis of synthetic and natural fabrics
The authors test the durability of synthetic versus non-synthetic fabrics though loose thread counts, color fade over time, and shrinkage tests.
Read More...Differentiating characteristics in exoplanet host stars
The authors looked at what conditions with host stars favor development of exoplanets.
Read More...Deep dive into predicting insurance premiums using machine learning
The authors looked at different factors, such as age, pre-existing conditions, and geographic region, and their ability to predict what an individual's health insurance premium would be.
Read More...Reinforcement learning in 2-D space with varying gravitational fields
In this study the authors looked at the ability to navigate planes in space between randomly placed planets. They used machine and reinforcement learning to run simulations and found that they were able to identify optimal paths for travel. In the future these techniques may allow for safer travel in unknown spaces.
Read More...Ocean, atmosphere, and cloud quantity on the surface conditions of tidally-locked habitable zone planets
The authors assessed the atmospheric and oceanic parameters necessary for tidally-locked exoplanets to be habitable.

The authors compare the predicted versus actual geyser eruption times for the Old Faithful and Beehive Geysers at Yellowstone National Park.
Read More...Copper nanoparticle synthesis using Picea glauca ‘Conica’
The authors propose a method to recycle Christmas tree needles into a non-toxic reducing agent for synthesizing copper nanoparticles.
Read More...Fractals: Exploring Mandelbrot Coordinates and qualitative characteristics of the corresponding Julia Set
Here based on an interest in fractals, the authors used a Julia Set Generator to consider a specific point on the Mandelbrot set with an associated coordinate. In this manner, they found that the complexity of the Mandelbrot and Julia Sets are governed by relatively simple rules, revealing that the intricate patterns of fractals can be defined by defined by simple rules and patterns.
Read More...Determining surface tension of various liquids and shear modulus of paper using crumpling effect
In this article, the authors investigate the shear modulus of different types of paper in the setting of the crumpling effect.
Read More...Investigating Hydrogen as a Potential Alternative to Kerosene in Fueling Commercial Aircraft
Growing climate concerns have intensified research into zero-emission transportation fuels, notably hydrogen. Hydrogen is considered a clean fuel because its only major by-product is water. This project analyzes how hydrogen compares to kerosene as a commercial aircraft fuel with respect to cost, CO2 emissions, and flight range.
