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 ...

NASA simulations show how airflow, exhaust, and water systems interact during Artemis II launch, helping engineers refine launch pad design and manage pressure and sound effects.

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 ...

Artist's conception of early starbursting galaxies. UC Davis astronomers collaborated on new simulations showing how bright galaxies could emerge early in the universe. Stars and galaxies are shown in ...

Computer simulations can help people gain a better understanding of the situation faced by migrants. This is shown by a new study in which 148 teenagers were assigned random migration pathways, with ...

When high explosives are subjected to sudden shock waves, such as from an impact or detonation, tiny regions of intense heat—called hot spots—form at microstructural defects such as pores. These hot ...

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 ...

Maynard Zettler, director of research and engineering, Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division, discussed the Navy’s simulation activities (Box 2-1). The important focus was on the Naval ...
