Abstract: In this letter, we propose an enhanced binary particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with symmetrical uncertainty (EBPSO-SU) to reduce the complexity of the digital predistortion (DPD) ...

The financial collapse of the US’s rural hospitals remains one of the most persistent and urgent crises in health care policy. Since 2005, more than 180 rural hospitals have shuttered, and more than a ...

A supercharged neutrino that smashed into our planet in 2023 may have been spit out by an exploding primordial black hole with a "dark charge." If true, this theory could lead to a definitive catalog ...

Tiny marine plankton that build calcium carbonate shells play an outsized role in regulating Earth’s climate, quietly pulling carbon from the atmosphere and helping lock it away in the deep ocean. New ...
