Researchers at the University of British Columbia Okanagan have published a mathematical argument that, they say, rules out the possibility that this universe is a computer simulation. The claim, made ...

Ever had an idea for something that looked cool, but wouldn't work well in practice? When it comes to designing things like ...

For decades, theoretical physics has struggled to reconcile General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. The primary obstacle is the assumption that spacetime is a smooth, continuous fabric, which leads ...

In the everyday world, governed by classical physics, the concept of equilibrium reigns. If you put a drop of ink into water, ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

Science is a subject built on doing. Students learn chemistry through titrations, biology through dissections, physics ...

Design engineers can use AI-driven simulation to overcome bottlenecks and accelerate materials discovery with hybrid workflow approaches.

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...
