WASHINGTON (May 19, 2021) Early online support for the Boogaloos, one of the groups implicated in the January 2021 attack on the United States Capitol, followed the same mathematical pattern as ISIS, despite the stark ideological, geographical and cultural differences between their forms of extremism. That s the conclusion of a new study published today by researchers at the George Washington University. This study helps provide a better understanding of the emergence of extremist movements in the U.S. and worldwide, Neil Johnson, a professor of physics at GW, said. By identifying hidden common patterns in what seem to be completely unrelated movements, topped with a rigorous mathematical description of how they develop, our finding
Researchers at China s Qingdao University have developed a new multi-modal image fusion method based on supervised deep learning. It enhances image clarity, reduces redundant image features and supports batch processing, improving the accuracy of medical diagnoses.
There are roughly 50 billion individual birds in the world, a new big data study by UNSW Sydney suggests - about six birds for every human on the planet.

Can you feel the heat? To a thermal camera, which measures infrared radiation, the heat that we can feel is visible, like the heat of a traveler in an airport with a fever or the cold of a leaky window or door in the winter.
In a paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, an international group of applied mathematicians and physicists, including Fernando Guevara Vasquez and Trent DeGiovanni from the University of Utah, report a theoretical way of mimicking thermal objects or making objects invisible to thermal measurements. And it doesn t require a Romulan cloaking device or Harry Potter s invisibility cloak. The research is funded by the National Science Found
