Droplet impacting on solid or liquid interfaces is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature. Although complete rebound of droplets is widely observed on superhydrophobic surfaces, the bouncing of droplets on ...

In their quest for a better understanding of the emergence of order in typically disordered systems, physicists have developed many models in fields ranging from animal behaviour to materials science.

The list of informal, weird AI benchmarks keeps growing. Well, simulating a bouncing ball is a classic programming challenge. Accurate simulations incorporate collision detection algorithms, which try ...
