The Bernoulli shift map is a well-known chaotic map in chaos theory. For a binary system, however, the output is not chaotic and converges to zero instead. One way to prevent this is by perturbing the ...

Microsoft Research has developed an analog optical computer (AOC) that uses light to solve complex problems.

We may be looking for aliens in all the wrong places. Binary and multi-star systems, usually composed of two or more stars that either circle each other or a fixed point, may hold the key to finding ...
