By Gayoung Lee Verified| Scientific American Verified Humans walking in crowds tend to form orderly lanes. It’s something we do “without even knowing [why],” says Iker Zuriguel, a physicist at the University of Navarra in Spain. But sometimes, such as in crosswalks during peak commuting times, that order turns to utter chaos. Mathematicians used physics models and gymnasium experiments to understand why and pinpointed a specific “critical angle” of the crowd’s movement—13 degrees—to explain why crowded pathways snarl to a standstill.
By Gayoung Lee Verified| Scientific American Verified The neutrino is a notorious troublemaker in the world of particle physics. This tiny, elusive particle with no electric charge likely permeates every corner of the universe, but you’d be hard-pressed to know that without extremely specialized instruments. Trillions pass through you every second, in fact, all without interacting with a single atom of your body.
By Gayoung Lee Verified| Scientific American Verified Understanding a simple-looking sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some sophisticated conceptual computation: a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly instantaneously based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in the Netherlands.
