Alderson conducted research on urban planning that influenced the city's new zoning policy.

Aldersons gathered at the old farmhouse for the annual reunion.

Scientists modeled how Alderson disks would affect planetary climates across a binary star system.

Scientists debated whether Alderson discs could be stable in a binary star system.

Scientists simulated the climate of an Alderson disk to see how a star passing through its axial hole and the disk's immense mass, which could support its own atmosphere, would affect weather systems.

Scientists modeled how ecosystems might vary across an Alderson disc to understand its habitability.
