When granular materials are poured onto a surface, they form conical piles whose slopes increase before reaching a stable angle of repose. We found that this angle evolution follows a previously unrecognized two-phase exponential growth pattern that is conserved across granular materials with diverse particle properties. The parameters of this model correlate with particle friction and are influenced by deposition conditions, providing a quantitative framework for describing pile formation.

This study strongly illustrates that optimizing 3D printing parameters would enhance a triboelectric nanogenerator's performance. The design improvements substantiate the potential of optimized, 3D-printed TENGs for developing scalable, cost-effective solutions for powering low-energy electronics, particularly in applications such as structural health monitoring.

This study investigates the migration intentions of Syrian high school and university students amid ongoing conflict and economic instability. Drawing on survey data, the research examines how academic stage influences migration motivations, preferred destinations, and return intentions. The findings reveal a widespread desire to emigrate, driven by educational, economic, and security concerns, highlighting significant implications for Syria’s future workforce and post-conflict recovery.

Here the authors investigated the relationship between offensive play-calling styles and scoring success within the NFL's red zone by analyzing play-by-play data and expected points metrics. Their findings suggest that a conservative approach to play design and execution is more strongly associated with maximizing efficiency and point-value gains than aggressive strategies.
