A new technique allows complex interactions in materials to be simulated using Monte Carlo simulations thousands of times ...

Looking back at the history of computers, it’s hard to overestimate the rate at which computing power has scaled in the course of just a single human lifetime. But yet, existing classical computers ...

Researchers have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or even solid materials ...

More stable and efficient materials for solar cells are needed in the green transition. So-called halide perovskites are highlighted as a promising alternative to today's silicon materials.

The idea that we might be living in a simulated reality has worried us for centuries. Now physicists have found some ...

One of the most frequently asked questions about quantum computers is a simple one: When will they be useful? If you talk to people in the field, you’ll generally get a response in the form of another ...

Life is motion. And so, to understand how living organisms function, one must understand the movement and reorganization of the atoms and molecules that compose them. The approach called "molecular ...

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing ...

EVANSTON, Ill. — Prevailing theoretical models attempting to explain the formation of the solar system have assumed it to be average in every way. Now a new study by Northwestern University ...
