In independent research in the American Journal of Physics, Ian Tregillis and George R.R. Martin derive a formula for viral ...

Authors Ian Tregillis and George R.R. Martin develop a formula to capture the dynamics driving viral behavior in the Wild Cards series. Many science fiction authors try to incorporate scientific ...

Long before Westeros, fantasy and science-fiction author George R.R. Martin had a hand in creating Wild Cards, a shared science-fiction universe involving a pathogen called the "Wild Card" virus that ...

Although fans of A Song of Ice and Fire might still be hankering for the long-delayed next book in the series, bestselling ...

Tregillis created a Lagrangian formula, a fundamental physics principle, to describe the virus’s dynamics. He and Martin turned the abstract problem into a concrete dynamical system, generating ...

R. Martin hasn't finished "The Winds of Winter ... physics analysis and quantitative model development,” Martin and Tregellis write in the peer-reviewed paper published on Friday.
