The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

"Learn how to set up and analyze an RC circuit using the PhET Simulator! In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of building a simple resistor-capacitor circuit, explaining ...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30, 2025 — AIP has awarded $25,000 to the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder for the team’s proposed project, “Electricity and Magnetism with ...

A team at the University at Buffalo has made it possible to simulate complex quantum systems without needing a supercomputer. By expanding the truncated Wigner approximation, they’ve created an ...

Bibek Chand is an associate professor in the Department of Political Science and International Affairs and the winner of a 2025 Teaching Excellence Award. Simulations are experiential learning tools ...

Astronomers have long relied on supercomputers to simulate the immense structure of the Universe, but a new tool called Effort.jl is changing that. By mimicking the behavior of complex cosmological ...

While no one has figured out how to make money from generative artificial intelligence, that hasn’t stopped Google DeepMind from pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with a big pile of inference.

Nothing can fully prepare a new teacher for their first year in the classroom—especially when it comes to the difficult conversations they’ll inevitably have with students and parents. But two former ...

What if gravity were informed by the way matter was arranged in the universe — and a sign that we were living in a reality composed by a giant computer? In a new paper published in the journal AIP ...

We demonstrate how computer-based simulations could support cyber stress testing exercises through a three-step framework. First, cyber-attack scenarios are designed to target the systemic nodes of a ...
