The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has shifted from late-night dorm debate to a live question in physics and philosophy. A growing body of work now treats the “simulation ...

Quantum simulations are pushing physicists to rethink what it means for an atom to move. In new work on a quantum computer, researchers report vibrational patterns where atoms seem to oscillate yet ...

Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving ...

Luminary is rethinking physics simulation workflows spanning GPU clusters from the ground up. The new company hopes the new architecture and business model will impact the simulation industry as much ...

Researchers in Australia have unveiled the largest quantum simulation platform built to date, opening a new route to exploring the complex behavior of quantum materials at unprecedented scales.

The idea that we’re living inside a simulation, as popularized by “The Matrix” franchise, has piqued the interest of scientists for decades. In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed in a highly ...

Randles began her career as a physicist and she explains why she was drawn to the multidisciplinary research that she does ...

Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow stars, ...

The best theory physicists have for the birth of the universe makes no sense. It goes like this: In the beginning—the very, if not quite veriest, beginning—there’s something called quantum foam. It’s ...

NVIDIA isn't just showing off its Titan RTX GPU and some clever AI demos-- it also has big news for anyone interested in more realistic computer physics. The company is releasing its ...
