What would it take to turn the entire cosmos into software-down to the rules that generate space and time? For decades, the ...

For generations “theory” and “experiment” were the twin drivers of scientific research. In the past few years, however, a new tool has come into its own: simulation. Computer simulations have ...

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 ...

A University of Portsmouth physicist has explored whether a new law of physics could support the much-debated theory that we are simply characters in an advanced virtual world. The simulated universe ...

The introduction of full 3D-ICs will require a simultaneous analysis of various physical effects under different workloads, a step-function change that will add complexity at every step of the design ...

Gravity is usually presented as the most familiar of nature’s forces, the quiet background pull that keeps feet on sidewalks and planets in orbit. A growing group of physicists is now treating that ...
