Researchers at the University of Tuebingen, working with an international team, have developed an artificial intelligence that designs entirely new, sometimes unusual, experiments in quantum physics ...

Explore the power of interactive physics visualizations with animated graphs using VPython and GlowScript for dynamic simulations! This guide demonstrates how to create real-time animated graphs that ...

Ever had an idea for something that looked cool, but wouldn't work well in practice? When it comes to designing things like ...

Geostationary orbit simulation in GlowScript VPython: a practical tutorial that demonstrates orbital mechanics and physics-based visualization of satellites maintaining a fixed position relative to ...

A team of EPFL researchers has developed an AI algorithm that can model complex dynamical processes while taking into account ...

Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to CuriousKidsUS@theconversation.com. Is the whole universe just a simulation?

Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison uncovered a critical flaw in how lunar and Martian rovers are tested on Earth. Simulations revealed that test results have been misleading for decades ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

COMSOL Multiphysics version 6.4 accelerates engineering simulations and multiphysics models. Full GPU support across all physics delivers up to 5× speedups in benchmarks. COMSOL now supports GPU ...

Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

The true nature of our universe as been an open debate for millennia, and recently, scientists and philosophers have pondered whether it might be a hyper-realistic simulation perpetuated by some super ...
