Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have performed the largest direct numerical ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

The universe is full of fascinating physics that have been experimentally confirmed but are still far from fully explained. In an unpublished paper, circa 2018, titled The P2P Simulation Hypothesis ...

Researchers at University of Jyväskylä (Finland) advance understanding of gold nanocluster behavior at elevated temperatures ...

New high-resolution simulations show one million galaxies forming some 13 billion years ago. It looks like fireflies flickering in the darkness. Slowly, more and more amass, lighting up the screen in ...

For generations “theory” and “experiment” were the twin drivers of scientific research. In the past few years, however, a new tool has come into its own: simulation. Computer simulations have ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has shifted from late-night dorm debate to a live question in physics and philosophy. A growing body of work now treats the “simulation ...

The most beautiful experiment in physics, according to a poll of Physics World readers, is the interference of single electrons in a Young’s double slit. Robert P Crease reports Simply beautiful – the ...

Abby Ledford worked on a fluid dynamics research project under the supervision of Dr. Patrick Bunton, head of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UNG. Amanda Ash and Jessica Hamilton presented ...

If you’re interested in VR, you’ve probably thought at least once or twice about the simulation hypothesis—the idea that we might actually already be living in a virtual reality world. Many people are ...
