The possibility that our entire universe merely exists inside a computer simulation is more than an idle science fiction ...

Using the Helios-1 quantum computer, researchers have used a record-breaking number of error-proof qubits to run the first ...

A team of researchers from the Max Born Institute (MBI) in Berlin and DESY in Hamburg has demonstrated a plasma lens capable ...

A pair of physicists with long ties to PPPL are being honored for their foundational work on turbulence in plasma. Understanding why instabilities occur and how to limit them is critical to perfecting ...

Scientists have created the first real-time 3D simulations of how lasers alter the quantum vacuum. Using cutting-edge computational modeling, scientists from the University of Oxford, in collaboration ...

For decades, scientists have dreamed of creating a miniature version of the sun on Earth – a machine capable of producing ...

Could we be trapped inside a simulated reality, rather than the physical universe we usually assume? It’s a tantalizing theory, long theorized by philosophers and popularized by the 1999 blockbuster ...

The distribution function of energetic particles and the time evolution of the frequency spectrum of fluctuations. Initially, the energetic particle distribution function is mountain-like. It slopes ...

Computational simulation gives researchers the power to explore complex engineering problems that cannot be easily approached through theory and experiment alone. We are creating solutions using ...

Astrophysicists have identified the mechanism that powers black hole flares. By employing computer simulations of unparalleled power and resolution, the researchers found that energy released near a ...
