In December 2010, a major storm erupted in Saturn's northern hemisphere near 37 degree planetographic latitude. This rather surprising event, occurring at an unexpected latitude and time, is the sixth "Great White Spot" (GWS) storm observed over the...
You can see here that she’s basically just a child and the air-castle she’d built just came crashing down. Roman was surprisingly kind in this scene....
Plank problems concern the covering of convex bodies by planks in Euclidean space and are related to famous open problems in convex geometry. In this survey, we introduce plank problems and present surprising applications of plank theorems in various...
Analytic expressions for the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a one-dimensional harmonic crystal are obtained. The average energy and density profiles are obtained numerically as a function of temperature. A surprisingly large number of energ...
Learn surprising and fascinating facts about flags from around the world, including unique designs, historical changes, and unusual flag traditions. Learn about special flag days being celebrated …
In his first mock of the 2026 NFL Draft, Charles Davis projects a surprising slide for one of the top talents in the class. Check out his full first-round projection, 1-32.
Discovering the most interesting patterns is the key problem in the field of pattern mining. While ranking or selecting patterns is well-studied for itemsets it is surprisingly under-researched for other, more complex, pattern types. In this paper...
UPDATE: Pictures! We're doing this in our family, and I think its such a good idea, I'm sharing it. We are getting a dog the day after Christmas. Instead of surprising our kids (aged 7 and 5) on Chr...
In this paper, we examine the aptly-named "Lethargy Theorem" of Bernstein and survey its recent extensions. We show that one of these extensions shrinks the interval for best approximation by half while the other gives a surprising connection to the...
We investigate a surprising limitation of LLMs: their inability to consistently generate text in a user's desired language. We create the Language Confusion Benchmark (LCB) to evaluate such failures, covering 15 typologically diverse languages with e...
The role of forcing on the dynamics of a vertically shaken granular monolayer is investigated. Using a flat plate, surprising negative velocity correlations are measured. A mechanism for this anti-correlation is proposed with support from both expe...
What's more addictive than building modded CS1 cities? -- making custom assets! No one has made any Montreal Metro stations yet, and 'metro stations' as a category on the workshop is surprisingly lac...
A recent line of work on VC set systems in minor-free (undirected) graphs, starting from Li and Parter, who constructed a new VC set system for planar graphs, has given surprising algorithmic results. In this work, we initialize a more systematic stu...
with an average rating of 8.10/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Bawdy, heartfelt, and surprisingly wise, Sex Education is a raucous romp through
I recently went through the full Google Workspace Marketplace review process for a Forms add-on, and it was surprisingly different from OAuth verification. Some things that tripped me up: * App nami...
Low-bit model quantization for image super-resolution (SR) is a longstanding task that is renowned for its surprising compression and acceleration ability. However, accuracy degradation is inevitable when compressing the full-precision (FP) model to...
We review recent progress in computations of amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity. We compare the perturbative expansion of amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills and N=8 supergravity and discuss surprising similarities....
The Yang-Mills field strength incorporating a non-Abelian feature is one of the cornerstones of the standard model. Although Yang-Mills gauge theories have been around for over fifty years, surprisingly the derivation of the Yang-Mills field streng...
