What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system ...

Luminary is rethinking physics simulation workflows spanning GPU clusters from the ground up. The new company hopes the new architecture and business model will impact the simulation industry as much ...

No two snowflakes may be the same, but models that fail to take these variations into consideration often fall short when ...

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

Cosmic rays are one of the greatest challenges for space travel and pose a considerable risk to humans and materials. For the ...

Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow stars, ...

The idea that we’re living inside a simulation, as popularized by “The Matrix” franchise, has piqued the interest of scientists for decades. In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed in a highly ...

Simulated and simulator An illustration of the structure of the quantum magnet (above) that was simulated by a D-Wave quantum processor (below). (Courtesy: D-Wave Systems) Researchers at the quantum ...

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 ...
