A scientist proposes a new law of physics suggesting the universe may be a digital simulation, linking physics, biology, and ...

Information could become the fifth state of matter alongside gas, plasma, liquid, and solid states. A scientist has proposed ...

Frontier, the second fastest supercomputer in the world, used dark matter and the movement of gas and plasma rather than just ...

A supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the US has just pulled off the largest astrophysical simulation of the Universe accomplished to date. In November 2024, physicists used 9,000 ...

Scientists have used the world's fastest supercomputer to show the universe as it has never been seen before. In this incredible video, scientists from the Department of Energy’s Argonne National ...

Recent progress on both analog and digital simulations of quantum fields foreshadows a future in which quantum computers ...

For more than two decades, some scientists have pondered the possibility that life as we know is actually an unfathomably complex simulation. While some suggest looking for “glitches” to find evidence ...

Long before galaxies sparkled in the sky or stars took shape, invisible forces stirred in the early Universe. One of those ...

Japanese astronomers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique to remove noise in astronomical data due to random variations in galaxy shapes. After extensive training and testing on ...

I’ve started making my way (skeptically) through Ray Kurzweil’s How to Create a Mind, and at the recommendation of a friend, I’ve also started keeping tabs on KurzweilAI, a Kurzweil-blessed site ...

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical elements, which enriched the universe and allowed the next generations of ...
