Researchers have developed a deep-learning-based surrogate model that dramatically speeds up simulations of nonlinear optical ...

From the heartbreak of an early flight failure to a resounding triumph over the Norwegian Sea, the Boundary Layer Transition ...

Scientists in Germany have pulled off a staggering computing feat by fully simulating a 50-qubit quantum computer for the ...

Ansys, MathWorks, and other industry leaders are advancing AI-assisted engineering with integrated copilots, AI+ simulation modules, and agentic toolkits that accelerate design and analysis. These ...

From adaptive problem sequencing to physics-informed simulations, AI is transforming how students learn and apply physics. New tools now guide learners step-by-step, visualize complex concepts, and ...

Simulating how atoms and molecules move over time is a central challenge in computational chemistry and materials science. Classical machine learning approaches to molecular dynamics (MD) encode ...

New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

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?

How do you know anything is real? Some things you can see directly, like your fingers. Other things, like your chin, you need a mirror or a camera to see. Other things can’t be seen, but you believe ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...
