FORT INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa. — For the past few years, the U.S. Army has transitioned training priorities to focus on large-scale combat operations against what is known as near-peer advisories, a ...

Elon Musk and others find it plausible that our experiences result from events in a computer simulation, just like the characters in the Matrix movies. An alternative view, supported by both common ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals ...

What if your reality was nothing more than a complex computer simulation? And if you were just a program on someone else’s ...

Undergraduate science labs were once pretty predictable—pulleys and circuits, rocks and minerals, titrations and unknowns, bacterial brews and pickled piglets. But today’s science lab student, in one ...

Researchers combined computer simulations and transmission electron microscopy experiments to better understand the ordering mobility and formation of microstructure domains in Fe3Al alloy. They were ...

Ever since Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed his simulation argument in 2001, the nerdiverse has attempted to assess the possibility that reality is not really real, that what we experience as ...

Computer simulations by astronomers support the idea that dark matter -- matter that no one has yet directly detected but which many physicists think must be there to explain several aspects of the ...

Researchers at the quantum computing firm Quantinuum used a new Helios-1 quantum computer to simulate a mathematical model that has long been used to study superconductivity. These simulations are not ...

Building the “brain” that guides a self-driving car or other autonomous vehicle is challenging enough. Ensuring this digital pilot remains reliable when moving from clean computer simulations to the ...

A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built by scientists from the University of Surrey. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, ...
