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 ...

Computational modeling and simulation of nanomaterials strongly complement physical experiments. They enable the prediction of characteristics and processes under conditions difficult to replicate or ...

Computer modelling has shown the variety of vertebrate animal species found in locations across the globe could be cut by 27 per cent by the end of the century. Models of the Earth were created ...

U.S. researchers have created what they say is the first scientifically accurate 3-D simulation of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. The animation, created by computer ...

The simulation of strongly interacting many-body systems is a key objective of quantum physics research, as it can help to test the predictions of physics theories and yield new valuable insight.

The idea that reality—the universe, our world, and everything we perceive—is a simulation has fascinated philosophers and scientists for millennia, but new findings suggest that the theory, despite ...
