A new simulation of the evolution of the universe is one of the most accurate ever created. The model, developed by a team of scientists led by Mark Vogelsberger at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — ...

For years, astronomers have studied the formation of galaxies using computer simulations, but with limited success. The galaxies that formed in previous simulations were often too massive, too smal… ...

HITS In a simulation that’s running now, Wadsley is generating a bigger volume of mock universe to test whether the relation holds for the full range of galaxy types in McGaugh’s sample.

The reality we understand and interact with daily might, according to some scientists, be nothing more than an elaborate ...

VIRTUAL UNIVERSE In a snapshot from the Illustris computer simulation of the universe, galaxies (pink) cluster along filaments of dark matter (blue). Shown is the most massive cluster in the ...

A new simulation showing the evolution of the universe traces the formation of the cosmic web of galaxies scientists see today. The simulation - called Illustris - covers about 13 billion years of ...

A virtual simulation of the Universe was created with 2.1 trillion particles stored on 3,000 TB of storage! Learn more.

Scientists have used the world's fastest supercomputer to create the largest simulation of the cosmos ever created.

By strengthening the galactic winds in a computer simulation of the entire history of the universe, astronomers may have a more accurate model with which to study galaxies and their evolution.

A team of astronomers have developed a computer simulation called "Illustris," which took five years to program and, for the first time, can recreate the evolution of the Universe in high fidelity.

The fundamental parameters of the Universe might be universally constant. But they might also be 'constants' set by a simulation... or a simulator.
