New simulations of two black holes colliding near the speed of light reveal the mysterious physics of what one astrophysicist calls "one of the most violent events you can imagine in the universe." ...

Sensory overload: simulation of a proton-proton collision at the Large Hadron Collider. (Courtesy: CERN) Deep learning could hold the key to making sense of proton collisions generated in the world’s ...

Earth could have lost anywhere between ten and 60 per cent of its atmosphere in the collision that is thought to have formed the Moon. New research led by Durham University, UK, shows how the extent ...

Physicists have performed the first full simulation of a high-energy physics experiment — the creation of pairs of particles and their antiparticles — on a quantum computer 1. If the team can scale it ...

Mapelli and her collaborators first predicted that stellar collisions might lead to the formation of black holes in the mass gap about a year before the LIGO-Virgo observation was announced. They didn ...

Across the cosmos, many stars can be found in pairs, gracefully circling one another. Yet one of the most dramatic pairings occurs between two orbiting black holes, formed after their massive ...

Dr. Vopson argues that we’re living in a simulation because the mathematics behind how the universe functions doesn’t match ...
