EVANSTON, Ill. — Prevailing theoretical models attempting to explain the formation of the solar system have assumed it to be average in every way. Now a new study by Northwestern University ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals ...

Researchers have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or even solid materials ...

AI robotics training has been increased tremendously with the help of a new tool. Called ‘Genesis’, the tool is a new open-source computer simulation system. Unveiled by a large group of university ...

A new research paper reframes the simulation hypothesis, asking whether reality could be simulated and what science can test.

Building the “brain” that guides a self-driving car or other autonomous vehicle is challenging enough. Ensuring this digital pilot remains reliable when moving from clean computer simulations to the ...
