The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has shifted from late-night dorm debate to a live question in ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Despite how it may feel some days, we probably aren’t stuck in a ...

The idea that we might be living inside a vast computer simulation, much like in The Matrix, has fascinated philosophers and scientists for years. But a new study from researchers at the University of ...

Researchers at the quantum computing firm Quantinuum used a new Helios-1 quantum computer to simulate a mathematical model that has long been used to study superconductivity. These simulations are not ...

Unless you, dear reader, are a web-scraping software bot quietly pulling this text into a data-hungry LLM, you’re probably a human. And though you’ve likely never seen me in person, you have good ...

Researchers developed a faster, more stable way to simulate the swirling electric fields inside industrial plasmas -- the kind used to make microchips and coat materials. The improved method could ...

Building the “brain” that guides a self-driving car or other autonomous vehicle is challenging enough. Ensuring this digital pilot remains reliable when moving from clean computer simulations to the ...

Researchers at MIT developed MechStyle: a system that allows for customizing 3D model files while maintaining durability.
