New framework enables researchers to model how light and electrons interact in metals, semiconductors and two-dimensional materials, paving the way for faster development of advanced chips, optical technologies and quantum devices.

A new mathematical and computational model developed by researchers at Politecnico di Milano studies the link between the accumulation of toxic proteins and damage to the brain’s blood vessels

New research shows that even in the famous Prisoner's Dilemma, where selfishness is supposed to prevail, cooperation can naturally emerge and persist, offering fresh insight into how complex life and human societies evolved.

The human brain performs perception, memory, learning and decision-making with only about 20 watts of power. A new study in National Science Review proposes a physics-based framework to explain this extraordinary efficiency. By modeling cooperative neuronal activity, the researchers suggest that brain information may be stored and processed through dynamic electrical patterns, offering new clues for brain science and energy-efficient artificial intelligence.
