Accelerated Full Waveform Inversion by Deep Compressed Learning

Gelboim, Maayan; Adler, Amir; Araya-Polo, Mauricio (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2026-03-13)

We propose and test a method to reduce the dimensionality of Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) inputs as a computational cost mitigation approach. Given modern seismic acquisition systems, the data (as an input for FWI) required ...
A Time-Symmetric and Retrocausal Resolution of the EPR Paradox

Heaney, Michael B. (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2026-03-12)

The Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics explains the Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) experiments with “spooky action at a distance” and nonlocal wavefunction collapse. A time-symmetric and retrocausal ...
Ionic Liquid Biospheres

Seager, Sara; Bains, William; Iakubivskyi, Iaroslav; Agrawal, Rachana; Jenkins, John; e.a. (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2026-03-03)

Liquid is a fundamental requirement for life as we understand it, but whether that liquid has to be water is not known. We propose the hypothesis that ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DES) constitute a class ...
