Because linear equations are so much easier to solve than nonlinear ones, much research across a range of disciplines is devoted to finding linear approximations of nonlinear phenomena.

If you pull twice as hard on a spring, it stretches twice as far. However, when we introduce very large forces or complicated ...

Proper handling of continuous variables is crucial in healthcare research, for example, within regression modelling for descriptive, explanatory, or predictive purposes. However, inadequate methods ...

For this, you also need non-linear thresholding functions that adjust the weights between the layers of neurons.

In a review just published in Nature Materials, researchers take aim at the oldest principle in electronics: Ohm's law.

A research team led by Prof. Yang Yuchao from the School of Electronic and Computer Engineering at Peking University Shenzhen ...

Long wires or distant wireless communications always garble the transmission. How can an engineer cure that distortion? Turns out, a lot of math and a little experience can work wonders. This author ...

Breaking inversion symmetry in materials allows deviations from Ohms law, enabling nonlinear effects that could drive future nano- and quantum-electronic devices.
