Maybe the world we live in our whole lives inside isn’t the real one, maybe it’s more like a big video game, or the movie ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's Quantum Science Center (QSC) headquartered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia Okanagan have published a mathematical argument that, they say, rules out the possibility that this universe is a computer simulation. The claim, made ...

Quantum annealing processors outperform classical supercomputers in solving real-world scientific simulations of quantum spin dynamics, researchers report in a new study, achieving results far beyond ...

Spoiler: You are not living in a simulation. Advanced simulations have been the subject of fiction from The Matrix to the season two episode of The Twilight Zone (2019), “Downtime.” As our real-world ...

Galaxies are far more than the sum of their stars. Long before stars even formed, dark matter clumped up and drew regular matter together with its gravity, providing the invisible scaffolding upon ...

The PhET Interactive Simulationsproject at the University of Colorado offers over 100 interactive scientific simulations accessible in HTML5, meaning they can be used directly on any browser and ...

Several impediments to developing better representations of physical processes in models were identified by workshop participants. Most of these are described as “cultural,” meaning the impediments, ...

A single atom has performed the first full quantum simulations of how certain molecules react to light. The researchers who carried out the feat say that their minimalistic approach could dramatically ...

PhET Interactive Simulations at the University of Colorado Boulder provides free, research-based math and science simulations for all education levels. All simulations and resources are open source ...
