Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, researchers report vibrational patterns where atoms seem to oscillate yet ...

This visualization shows moderately large pressure fluctuations within a 35-trillion-grid-point turbulence simulation, ...

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 ...

In an essay for The Conversation, physicist Melvin Vopson of the University of Portsmouth in England laid out the theory behind his simulation test, which builds on the idea that a “simulated universe ...

Quantum chaos describes chaotic classical dynamical systems in terms of quantum theory, but simulations of these systems are limited by computational resources. However, one team seems to have found a ...

Ever since Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed his simulation argument in 2001, the nerdiverse has attempted to assess the possibility that reality is not really real, that what we experience as ...

For more than a decade, MIT Associate Professor Rafael Gómez-Bombarelli has used artificial intelligence to create new materials. As the technology ...

Immersive Exploration of Detectors and EventsLed by physicist Yu-Mei Zhang and Zheng-Yun You, the research team has developed a VR-based visualization ...

The demand for immersive, realistic graphics in mobile gaming and AR or VR is pushing the limits of mobile hardware. Achieving lifelike simulations of fluids, cloth, and other materials historically ...

The introduction of full 3D-ICs will require a simultaneous analysis of various physical effects under different workloads, a step-function change that will add complexity at every step of the design ...
