Behold NeuroMechFly, the best fruit fly simulator yet
Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly, is in some ways a simple creature. But in others it is so complex that, as with any form of life, we are only scratching the surface of understanding it.
Simulation meets observation in first image of the supermassive black hole at our galaxy’s center
As countless science and general news outlets have reported today, the image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, is a fabulous scientific achievement. But one a
Cruise lays out its plan for ‘how’ it will make robotaxis a reality
The string of engineers who spoke Thursday night during a deep dive into Cruise’s autonomous vehicle technology never mentioned Tesla’s name. They didn’t have to, although the messag
Climate change kills off clouds over the ocean in new simulation
We all know climate change is affecting weather systems and ecosystems around the world, but exactly how and in what way is still a topic of intense study. New simulations made possible by higher-powe
NASA’s newly upgraded Pleiades supercomputer delves into the mysteries of star formation
NASA scientists are bringing one of the most powerful computers in the world — just recently given a tune-up — to bear on the question "Where do stars come from?" So next time your toddler asks yo
Researchers Create “Near-Exhaustive,” Ultra-Realistic Cloth Simulation
Cloth is hard to simulate yet it's important in gaming, scientific analysis, and CGI. That's why scientists at Berkely and Carnegie Mellon have spent six months exhaustively exploring all of the possi
