    , Soliton From Wikipedia , the free encyclopedia Jump to : navigation search For other uses , see Soliton disambiguation Solitary wave in a laboratory wave channel In mathematics and physics a soliton is a self-reinforcing solitary wave a wave packet or pulse that maintains its shape while it travels at constant speed . Solitons are caused by a cancellation of nonlinear and dispersive effects in the medium . The term dispersive effects refers to a property of certain systems where the speed of the waves varies according to frequency . Solitons arise as the solutions of a widespread class of weakly nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations describing physical systems . The soliton phenomenon was first described by John Scott Russell 1808–1882 who observed a solitary wave in the

    Updated: 2012-01-02 16:58:55
    A group of three researchers from KEK, Shizuoka University and Osaka University has for the first time revealed the way our universe was born with 3 spatial dimensions from 10-dimensional superstring theory*1 in which spacetime has 9 spatial directions and 1 temporal direction. This result was obtained by numerical simulation on a supercomputer.

    Earth may be going steady with the Moon, but it has a bit of a wanderer’s relationship with some other nearby objects. A study by an international trio of scientists suggests that, at any given time, there is at least one meter-sized mini asteroid temporarily orbiting our planet.
