In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect, where electrons are affected by a magnetic ...

Researchers from Skoltech and the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics have developed an approach that helps ...

The universe is full of fascinating physics that have been experimentally confirmed but are still far from fully explained. In an unpublished paper, circa 2018, titled The P2P Simulation Hypothesis ...

Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are leading a new project to ensure that the fastest supercomputers can keep up with big data from high energy physics research. ...

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 ...

Recent advances in AI, quantum computing, and physics-based modeling are dramatically accelerating and expanding the scope of simulations across domains from spaceflight to drug discovery.

Researchers have identified the mechanism by which high-powered lasers can cause rapidly expanding plasma to spontaneously generate magnetic fields within a billionth of a second. The discovery, based ...

A virtual laboratory under development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro aims to let students experiment with physics concepts without physically being in a lab. Computer simulations ...

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 ...
