Seeing global trade through the lens of physics

Economic complexity methods analyze global networks to generate rankings according to complexity. A new study resolves the uncertainty surrounding these calculations, showing that they lead to a single stable result, with implications for policy-making and analysis of complex networks

CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt 4 Dock

Von Kaven Award goes to mathematician Andrii Mironchenko

Andrii Mironchenko's work focuses on infinite-dimensional systems, which can model optimized traffic-control systems and intelligent power networks. He develops methods to ensure robustness of control mechanisms against undesired effects from disturbances.

Scientists find a 'speed limit' for innovation

A new study from the Complexity Science Hub reveals that innovation can only endure over time if it is balanced with exnovation - the loss or forgetting of older possibilities. The researchers found an interesting trade-off between innovation speed and system stability.

Garmin GPSMAP 67i with inReach

Garmin GPSMAP 67i with inReach provides rugged GNSS navigation, satellite messaging, and SOS for backcountry geology and climate field teams.

Lost birds and mammals spell doom for some plants

Researchers found animal-dispersed plant species' ability to adapt to climate change reduced by 60% due to bird and mammal losses. Global seed dispersal mapping revealed severe declines in temperate regions, with tropical areas at high risk if endangered species go extinct.
