Researchers from the Department of Energy's Quantum Science Center (QSC) headquartered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have achieved a significant milestone by demonstrating the first digital ...

Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to CuriousKidsUS@theconversation.com. Is the whole universe just a simulation?

High energy physicists run on a treadmill that keeps speeding up. Their collider experiments smash particles at dazzling speeds and energies. Detectors identify and track the multitudes of smaller ...

Supercomputers step particles through a virtual world to give a history of their movement. The results are compared to physical experiments. High energy physicists run on a treadmill that keeps ...

Abstract: Seismic traveltime is critical information conveyed by seismic waves, widely used in various geophysical applications. Conventionally, the simulation of seismic traveltime involves solving ...

Is reality an illusion a digital projection built on data and design? Simulation theory suggests that everything we know, from the laws of physics to our own thoughts, may be nothing more than code ...

Abstract: Multi-physics coupling numerical simulation has significant value in engineering research, but the traditional “visual modeling + manual coding ...

Quantum computers are beginning to become powerful tools for studying some of the most fundamental forces in the universe – and some of the trickiest to understand. Two experiments have used them to ...

During a discussion with an Amazon recruiter, Carnegie Mellon’s Runqiu Ye didn’t expect to be talking about binary stars. But the recruiter wanted to hear all about them. Binary stars — two stars ...
