Milky Way May Not Be Destroyed In Galactic Smash-Up After All
The Milky Way may not have a catastrophic collision with another huge galaxy as has been predicted, computer simulations revealed, giving our home galaxy a coin-flip chance of avoiding destruction.

Venus May Be Geologically Active: New Study Reveals Tectonic Processes Shaping Its Surface
Is Venus still geologically alive? New findings using NASA's Magellan data reveal that the planet's surface may be actively reshaped by subsurface plumes, supporting modern tectonic activity. Using NASA’s Magellan data and computer simulations, the study offers compelling evidence that Venus is not geologically dead, with implications for future ...

Is Gravity The Code? New Theory Suggests The Universe Is A Giant Quantum Computer
A new study proposes that gravity might be a product of computational processes within the universe, suggesting that the cosmos could be operating like a giant quantum computer, and potentially living in a simulated reality.

Do We Live In A Simulated Reality Like In The 'Matrix'? UK Scientist Makes Bold Claim
He proposes that the universe's tendency to pull objects with mass towards the Earth's core is analogous to how computers optimise data, supporting the idea that our universe could be a simulated or computational construct.

Frontier Supercomputer Simulates Universe with Unmatched Complexity
The Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has conducted the most detailed universe simulation to date. Using the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project, the model incorporates dark matter, gas, and plasma interactions. With speeds reaching 1.4 exaFLOPS, ...

New Study Uses Math to Decode Creativity and Idea Formation
A new study published in Nature Communications explores the mathematical foundations of creativity. Researchers introduced a model called Edge-Reinforced Random Walk with Triggering (ERRWT) to simulate how new ideas emerge by combining familiar elements. By analysing music habits, literature, and scientific papers, the study found that while discov...

Interstellar Object Could Have Shifted Trajectories of Four Planets, New Research Shows
A recent study suggests that an interstellar object, possibly as massive as eight times Jupiter, may have passed through the solar system billions of years ago, significantly altering the orbits of its outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Using computer simulations, researchers found that in about 1% of the scenarios, such a close ...

Scientists Investigate Hypernuclei To Understand Subatomic Forces and Neutron Stars
A groundbreaking study on hypernuclei, led by Ulf-G. Meißner from the Institute for Advanced Simulation, uses nuclear lattice effective field theory to explore the interactions of Λ-hyperons within atomic nuclei. The research, published in The European Physical Journal A, provides key insights into the forces that shape hypernuclei and their pote...

Supergiant Star Betelgeuse Might Have a Hidden Companion Star, New Study Claims
Recent research suggests that Betelgeuse, the prominent red supergiant in the Orion constellation, might have a hidden companion star, nicknamed “Betelbuddy.” Led by Jared Goldberg at the Flatiron Institute, the study proposes that this unseen star could be influencing Betelgeuse's unusual brightness fluctuations. Using computer simulations, th...

Dwarf Planet Ceres Once Hosted a Muddy Ocean Below Its Icy Surface
Recent research indicates that Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, likely harboured a muddy ocean beneath its icy crust. Advanced computer simulations suggest that its surface features and gravity measurements point to a past rich in ice. With its proximity to Earth, Ceres presents a promising target for further exploration, making it t...

Microsoft Launches New Computing Service, Aims to Help Speed Up R&D
Microsoft on Wednesday introduced a new computing service aimed at helping chemical companies speed up the research and development of new materials. Azure Quantum Elements, as the service is called, relies on computing power to help chemical companies simulate huge numbers of possible combinations of atoms. The point is to use computers to explore...

Bosch Partners With IBM in Quantum Computing to Find Surrogates for Precious Metals, Rare Earths Elements
Bosch is teaming up with IBM in the field of quantum computing as the firms seek to find surrogates for precious metals and rare earths in carbon-neutral powertrains within the next decade, using simulation technology. The company says it will invest EUR 10 billion (roughly Rs. 81,700 crore) in digitalisation and connectivity over the next three ye...
