How to predict city traffic

A new machine learning model can predict traffic activity in different zones of cities. To do so, a Complexity Science Hub researcher used data from a main car-sharing company in Italy as a proxy for overall city traffic. Understanding how different urban zones interact ...
Measuring 6,000 African cities: double the population means triple the energy costs

Using a new dataset, Rafael Prieto-Curiel of the Complexity Science Hub and colleagues analyzed the coordinates and surface of 183 million buildings in nearly 6,000 African cities. With their model, they quantify the shape of cities. Thus, they show that if a city's popu...
Berlin could produce more than 80% of its fresh vegetables locally

A comprehensive study of the city's potential to supply fresh vegetables is conducted for the first time
PREDICTING HUMAN GROUP SIZES WITH PHYSICS

Only by knowing the average number of friends each person has, scientists at Complexity Science Hub Vienna (CSH) were able to predict the group sizes of people in a computer game. For this purpose, they modelled the formation of social groups on an example from physics, ...
Diabetes mellitus: Women are at higher risk of venous thromboembolism than men

A research team from the Complexity Science Hub and MedUni Vienna analyzed 180,034 patients with diabetes mellitus and found evidence that women are at higher risk of venous thromboembolism than men - particularly during perimenopause. In total, massive amounts of data f...
TRY TO BE A PIONEER

To find out how many scientists a region needs to become a leader in a discipline, researchers at Complexity Science Hub tracked millions of scientists moving across the globe. Their results: there is no critical mass, but you have to be a pioneer. Regions can catch up l...

The first animal experiment proves what big data analysis previously indicated: high doses of statins increase osteoporosis risk
Tweets regarding suicide prevention might prevent suicide

A scientific team led by Thomas Niederkrotenthaler and Hannah Metzler from Complexity Science Hub Vienna and MedUni Vienna  analysed approximately seven million postings on the topic of suicide and suicide prevention on Twitter. In the process, it was shown that content ...
Cryptoassets: New evidence shows that nested financial services could cause domino effects

[Vienna | Nov 28, 2022] - It has been an extremely turbulent year for the crypto world. In particular, the collapses of the stablecoin Terra at the beginning of the year and the one of the crypto exchange FTX two weeks ago left many investors stunned. New research from C...
Peter Klimek: "We need to better understand production and value networks"

Global knowledge loopholes about supply networks have emerged since the pandemic. The Supply Chain Intelligence Institute Austria (ASCII) should now be able to close these gaps. In an interview, ASCII director and complexity researcher Peter Klimek discusses the origins ...
