Sentences with phrase «theoretical predictions made»

Not exact matches

«We've made a prediction on the basis of our best theories, and it is wrong, wildly wrong,» says Sean Carroll, a theoretical physicist at the California Institute of Technology.

In a new study due this week in the Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Rice University theoretical physicist Qimiao Si and colleagues at the Rice Center for Quantum Materials in Houston and the Vienna University of Technology in Austria make predictions that could help experimental physicists create what the authors have coined a «Weyl - Kondo semimetal,» a quantum material with an assorted collection of properties seen in disparate materials like topological insulators, heavy fermion metals and high - temperature superconductors.

The p - wave symmetry of SRO has never been fully verified, partly hindered by the fact that SRO is a bulky crystal, which makes it challenging to fabricate into the type of devices necessary to test theoretical predictions.

The researchers not only confirmed several theoretical predictions about topological crystalline insulators (TCIs), but made a significant experimental leap forward that revealed even more details about the crystal structure and electronic behavior of these newly identified materials, according to Boston College Associate Professor of Physics Vidya Madhavan, one of the lead authors of the report.

Then the researchers made those experimental measurements and revised various aspects of their models until the theoretical predictions agreed with the experiments.

Physicists trying to understand the fundamental structure of nature rely on consistent theoretical frameworks that can explain what we see and simultaneously make predictions that we can test.

In a theoretical prediction, the dust trap was defined as the first step of the planet formation to make possible effective coalescence of dust.

Today, even biology has a useful theoretical component where one can make predictions based on more than gut instinct.

Such revisions make for tremendous arguments and competing claims about whether cherry picking of data has been used to support the predictions of the AGW theoretical models.

He has been doing this for over two decades, unlike the computer modelers who are making their dire predictions based on their own theoretical climate scenarios.

Even aside from that, the greenhouse effect theory makes fairly specific theoretical predictions about how the rates of «infrared cooling» and «ozone heating» are supposed to vary with height, latitude, and season, e.g., Figures 8 and 9.

This sort of result would just indicate that more basic physics needs to be done on climate itself so as to eventually bring sufficient theoretical precision into GCMs, that they might make a testable prediction.

Such revisions make for tremendous arguments and competing claims about whether cherry picking of data has been used to support the predictions of the AGW theoretical models (15,16).

Jeff Hawkins, founder of the Redwood Centre for Theoretical Neuroscience, explains: «your brain receives patterns from the outside world, stores them as memories and makes predictions by combining what it has seen before and what is happening now.»
