A new 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation tool developed by researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and CEA Saclay is enabling cutting-edge simulations of laser/plasma coupling ...

November 17, 2022 by staff New York, NY, November 17, 2022 – ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, named a 16-member team drawn from French, Japanese, and US institutions as recipient of the ...

The particle-in-cell (PIC) method provides first-principles kinetic simulation, i.e., capturing full particle velocity distributions. Although very powerful, the separation between electron and ion ...

Single-particle tracking methods allow detailed analysis of protein movement in cells, but existing tracking algorithms have substantial limitations, particularly at high particle densities. A new ...

The group is very active in using large massively parallel computers with interest in domain decomposition and other algorithms for particle-in-cell simulation. We have experience with message-passing ...

Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulation is a technique within high-performance computing used to model the motion of charged particles, or plasma. PIC has applications in many areas, including nuclear ...

Physicist Melvin Vopson offered a new interpretation of gravity, arguing that it could be evidence that reality is a computer simulation.

To simulate the results from a hypervelocity impact plasma, researchers used a method called particle-in-cell simulation that allows them to model the plasma and the electromagnetic fields ...
