The magnetic fields lacing through galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments have no business being there. The early universe was ...

Somewhere between the galaxy clusters that dot the observable universe, enormous threads of hot, diffuse gas stretch across millions of light-years. These filaments form the cosmic web, the ...

For almost as long as Lawrence Livermore has existed, scientists have been experimenting with materials to learn what happens to them under high pressure. In the brief instant of a high-explosive ...

Physicists have shown that simulating models of hypothetical time travel can solve experimental problems that appear impossible to solve using standard physics. Physicists have shown that simulating ...

Flashes of femtosecond laser light, lasting just a few trillionths of a second, have made it possible to observe new magnetic ...

Semiconductor engineering teams have long relied on an iterative simulation workflow: define the scenario, prepare the model, run the analysis, review the results, adjust the design, and repeat until ...

On Thursday, a large group of university and private industry researchers unveiled Genesis, a new open source computer simulation system that lets robots practice tasks in simulated reality 430,000 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have developed a new procedure, enabling them to speed up ...

The most beautiful experiment in physics, according to a poll of Physics World readers, is the interference of single electrons in a Young’s double slit. Robert P Crease reports Simply beautiful – the ...
