Multiphysics Modeling for Next-Generation Electromagnetic Manufacturing Technologies
Advances in sensing, manufacturing, computational resources, and data-driven methods are enabling new approaches to electromagnetic sensing, non-destructive evaluation, and advanced materials processing. This webinar will demonstrate how the COMSOL Multiphysics software supports predictive modeling by coupling electromagnetic fields with thermal, chemical, mechanical, and transport phenomena across multiple length and time scales. The first application we will show focuses on eddy-current thermometry for reconstructing three-dimensional temperature fields in metal plates. Temperature-dependent

Why a Mathematician Is Chasing Eclipses With Algorithms and Cameras
The sun hangs low over the plains of Castile and León, in the north-central region of Spain. But from a slope of the mountain Pico Trigaza , it appears that a few puffy white clouds have started to block the sun. That’s vexing. A group of researchers, some wearing cardboard eclipse glasses, is clustered around sets of portable telescopes and cameras connected to laptops. All this gear is scattered on tabletops perched on the mountainside. On the computer screens, the sun’s disk looks like a deep orange crescent that is slowly waning. That’s because the moon began to crawl across it about half
