A groundbreaking computational physics framework has demonstrated that the three-dimensional fabric of the universe can be generated from scratch using a simple algorithm with exactly zero free ...

NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

Explore the power of interactive physics visualizations with animated graphs using VPython and GlowScript for dynamic simulations! This guide demonstrates how to create real-time animated graphs that ...

Abstract: Superconducting quantum circuits constitute one of the most advanced and promising platforms for building fault-tolerant quantum computers. However, the associated relatively short coherence ...

In Python Physics #27, we break down the concept of electric potential using point charges and Python simulations. Learn how to calculate and visualize the potential created by single and multiple ...

I peeked in on the house-sized particle detector known as STAR just after it took its last-ever snapshot of one of the most extreme types of fireball ever created. Inside, the conditions just after ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

Abstract: In synchrotron designs, accurately simulating beam dynamics, space charge effects, and particle-matter interactions is crucial. However, few simulation tools can simultaneously achieve high ...

What’s the most surefire way to achieve Civil War 2.0 in the United States? According to one wild simulation, it’s exactly what’s happening right now in Minneapolis. In October 2024, researchers at ...

Classical and quantum mechanics don’t really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...
