Thomas Mulligan investigates the possibility that we are living in a computer simulation and the odds involved.

Quantum computers still face a major hurdle on their pathway to practical use cases: their limited ability to correct the ...

A team of international scientists headed by Prof. Marco Salvalaglio from TUD–Dresden University of Technology has found out ...

An Ohio State spinoff has raised $5 million to speed already fast-growing sales of its AI-powered software for heart surgeons ...

For a long time, Neanderthal routes for their second wave of migration had been a huge mystery for experts. Recently, a team of researchers has used supercomputers to understand this elusive path ...

In computational chemistry, these scientists use computer simulations and modeling techniques to predict chemical behaviors and design new materials. Chemists and materials scientists are most ...

For all we know we are, in fact, in a vast computer simulation. Here’s a version of the simulation argument that I am fond of. Suppose that the commonly held view in astrobiology that there is ...

One potential workaround is to train robots using computer simulations of the real world, which makes it far simpler to set up novel tasks or environments for them. But this approach is bedeviled by ...

In recent years the idea that our universe, including ourselves and all of our innermost thoughts, is a computer simulation, running on a thinking machine of cosmic capacity, ...

A physicist at the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom claims to have new evidence that we're living in a Matrix-style computer simulation.

Computer simulations and machine learning as aids. Within the perovskite group, there are both 3D and 2D materials, the latter often being more stable.

A classic children’s toy—the popping dome that flips inside out and launches into the air—has sparked a big leap forward in ...
