In 1952, at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, theoretical physicists Enrico Fermi, John Pasta and Stanislaw Ulam brainstormed ways to use the MANIAC, one of the world’s first supercomputers, to solve ...

An experiment seeks to confirm the "fifth state of matter in the universe" and suggests we live in a simulation. This discovery would potentially change physics as we know it. Dr. Melvin Vopson, a ...

Researchers combined computer simulations and transmission electron microscopy experiments to better understand the ordering mobility and formation of microstructure domains in Fe3Al alloy. They were ...

The notion that we live as characters in someone else’s video game is irresistible to many, even outside of science fiction bookshelves. Googling the term “simulation hypothesis” returns numerous ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Last November, a group of physicists claimed they’d simulated a ...

Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and the debate has just taken a sharp turn. A group of researchers now say they ...

A military planner at the Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Virginia, watches a battle unfold without taking his eyes off the computer screen. The software is tracking a million vehicles spread over ...

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 ...

Desired circular short-time attractor showing cells accumulated on a ring (left) and the corresponding myosin distribution (right) in a living chick embryo. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

In salt water solutions, water molecules rapidly move around salt ions at a scale of more than a trillion times a second, according to both experiments and simulations. In salt water solutions, water ...
