Some of the darkest objects in the universe are also among its brightest beacons, lighting up entire galaxies while their neighbors stay strangely subdued. The latest generation of supercomputer ...

The most realistic picture yet of how galaxies formed and then evolved from the beginning of time has been revealed in a ...

As planetary systems evolve, gravitational interactions between planets can fling some of them into eccentric elliptical orbits around the host star, or even out of the system altogether. Smaller ...

Star and planet formation has largely been considered separate, sequential processes. But in a new study, scientists at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have modeled a different scenario where ...

Maybe the world we live in our whole lives inside isn’t the real one, maybe it’s more like a big video game, or the movie ...

From batteries to semiconductors, AI simulations are speeding discovery without fully replacing human expertise.

Computer simulations by astronomers support the idea that dark matter -- matter that no one has yet directly detected but which many physicists think must be there to explain several aspects of the ...

The COLIBRE ‘virtual universe’ simulations have successfully reproduced many observed properties of real galaxies, both in the present-day Universe and in ...

Wolfgang Maaß (left), doctoral research student Hannah Stein and researcher Ankit Agrawal (right) are working with partners from industry and academia to harness the power of quantum computational ...
