Few scientific ideas have leapt from philosophy seminars to dinner-table debates as quickly as the claim that our universe ...

Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started out with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow ...

The notion that we live as characters in someone else’s video game is irresistible to many, even outside of science fiction bookshelves. Googling the term “simulation hypothesis” returns numerous ...

A new computer simulation of how our brains develop and grow neurons has been built. Along with improving our understanding of how the brain works, researchers hope that the models will contribute to ...

Is this real life? Is this just fantasy? A growing number of scientists are suggesting that the idea that we are all living in a simulation may not be completely far-fetched. Simulation theory is the ...

We have long taken it for granted that gravity is one of the basic forces of nature—one of the invisible threads that keeps the universe stitched together. But suppose that this is not true. Suppose ...

SO-QFT simulation of 2D hydrogenic electron. (A) Real projections of the ground ψ0,0 state (left) and a first excited ψ1,1 state (right) of 2D hydrogen. Note that the plots here do not reflect the ...

“A sun of our own and it’s made in Britain!” crowed the headline. The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) believed its 120-ton experimental reactor Zeta was almost certainly generating neutrons from ...

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 ...

Researchers used a simulator that incorporates AI technology to uncover the survival strategy of the coronavirus in response to human behavioral changes such as staying home and isolating infected ...

Using the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have performed the largest direct numerical ...

The Saint Louis University Department of Computer Science offers courses at the undergraduate and graduate level. Content below is provided by SLU Academic Catalog. A broad survey of the computer ...
