Undergraduate science labs were once pretty predictable—pulleys and circuits, rocks and minerals, titrations and unknowns, bacterial brews and pickled piglets. But today’s science lab student, in one ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia Okanagan have published a mathematical argument that, they say, rules out the possibility that this universe is a computer simulation. The claim, made ...

Researchers have developed a computer simulation of asteroid collisions that initially sought to replicate model asteroid strikes performed in a laboratory. After verifying the accuracy of the ...

In 1952, at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, theoretical physicists Enrico Fermi, John Pasta and Stanislaw Ulam brainstormed ways to use the MANIAC, one of the world’s first supercomputers, to solve ...

Using a combination of computer simulations and experimental studies, a team of researchers is uncovering vital clues into how breast cancer cells invade breast tissue. In traditional mouse models ...

Sandia National Laboratories scientist Rémi Dingreville has co-developed a way to speed up virtually any kind of computer simulation, a ubiquitous research tool across science and industry.

A military planner at the Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Virginia, watches a battle unfold without taking his eyes off the computer screen. The software is tracking a million vehicles spread over ...

From the maw of the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, two enormous jets stream thousands of light-years into space. Scientists still don’t fully understand the physics behind ...
