Computer simulations of high-energy particles are pushing the boundaries of what we can learn about the interactions that ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford have simulated a way to summon light, seemingly out of thin air. Their work is quite ...

If you could sit perfectly still in a patch of space far from any stars, planets, or particles — utter emptiness — you might ...

Subatomic particles such as quarks can pair up when linked by ‘strings’ of force fields — and release energy when the strings ...

An associate professor of physics at the University of Portsmouth ... According to his paper "Are you living in a computer simulation?", if running such simulations becomes trivial, there would ...

An astrophysicist says he has been able to rule out one theory that we are all actually living in some sort of simulation.

While the world continues to fixate on AI, there are still plenty of high performance computing workloads that need doing and ...

A computer simulation shows how two neutron stars of unequal mass merge, form a black hole and spit out a jet of high energy matter.

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature – one of the invisible threads that keeps ...

If it’s true, this work could have ramifications for some of the biggest mysteries of the universe, including learning where ...
