But another is that our universe is a computer simulation, with someone (perhaps an advanced alien species) fine-tuning the conditions. The latter option is supported by a branch of science called ...

When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy levels, atoms vibrate, and chemical bonds shift—all within millionths of a ...

Computer scientist Roman Yampolskiy has ... some point our descendants will be curious enough to run "ancestor simulations", using just a tiny fraction of the computing power available to us.

Merging neutron stars are excellent targets for multi-messenger astronomy. This modern and still very young method of ...

Plasma—the electrically charged fourth state of matter—is at the heart of many important industrial processes, including ...

Couldn’t the universe use a few improvements ... including ourselves and all of our innermost thoughts, is a computer simulation, running on a thinking machine of cosmic capacity, has permeated ...

A quantum computer has used a single atom to model the complex dynamics of organic molecules interacting with light ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, using computer simulations and machine learning, have gained new insights into how perovskite materials function, which is an important ...

A new computer simulation of how our brains ... how neurons grow and form connections in real life. The simulation was tested using neurons from the hippocampus—a critical region of the brain ...
