In the early days of the universe, our home looked very different from how it does today. Back then, the region in our ...

You can watch how these galaxies coalesced over time and formed the familiar spiral disk we see today, thanks to a new set of ...

In my first months as a physics journalist nearly a decade ago, I kept running into an inscrutable string of characters: AdS/CFT. Thoroughly intimidated, I decided to just ignore it. But I couldn’t ...

Ever wondered how a simple drop looks on Jupiter versus the Moon? This 3D gravity simulation reveals wild differences across our solar system's planets.

Scientists have found a new way to create a controlled beam of muonium, an exotic atom containing a heavier cousin of the electron. The advance could allow researchers to test for the first time ...

Why traditional simulation workflows are too slow. How continuously computed physics can make previously impractical tradeoffs routinely accessible during design. How Vinci is able to attain this type ...

Some 1.3 billion years ago, when multicellular organisms were just emerging on Earth and life was still confined to the ocean, two behemoth black holes smashed together in a far-flung galaxy. The ...

To eliminate this data acquisition wall and convert simulation into standardized, reusable infrastructure, NVIDIA has launched its open-source Medical Physics Simulation framework within NVIDIA Isaac ...

Medical device leaders are already building on NVIDIA’s new Medical Physics Simulation framework — giving surgical robots the virtual experience they need before interacting with patients. July 22, ...

Everything around us, from atoms and molecules to planets and galaxies, is governed by two extraordinarily successful theories of physics: quantum mechanics and gravity. Quantum mechanics explains the ...
