Over hundreds of millions of years fish have evolved to their current shape in order to achieve an enviable balance between speed, efficiency and energy conservation, camouflage, reduced drag and so on.
A new study conducted on bluefin tuna and river trout included models of these fish in computer simulations, whic... |

Microprocessors on the market today come with a varied number of processing cores, ranging from 1 to 12. But manufacturers that want to produce 24-core or 48-core chips cannot be sure that their designs would work when completed. This is why researchers have created a simulation for these devices.
Scientists at the... |

Scientists at the University of Washington and MIT believe that microbes should be added to the plethora of variables that are accounted for in climate models. Biology should be added to fields such as atmospherics, oceanography, seismology, geology, physics and chemistry.Each computer model seeking to determine how ... |

Experts at the American space agency are using the NASA Advanced Supercomputing facility's Pleiades Supercomputer to study the manner in which rotor blades interact with the vortices they themselves create. This line of study is extremely important for a number of civilian and military applications, such as impr... |

According to a new scientific investigation, it would appear that global warming will continue to increase mean temperatures on Earth throughout this century. However, the study also indicates that the effect may stall at times, influenced by the deep ocean and other factors.
Investigators determined that tempera... |

Since the Big Bang exploded the Universe into being more than 13.75 billion years ago, large-scale cosmic structures have evolved following roughly the same patterns, regardless of whether they are made up of normal matter or dark matter. This is the groundbreaking conclusion of a new computer model analyzing the sit... |

The IBM-built Julich Blue Gene supercomputer, dubbed JUGENE, has recently been rendered capable of conducting simulations of quantum computers. This is a massive breakthrough in the field, since it has been plagued by logistic and technological problems for a long time. Developing a quantum computer has been a long-s... |

According to a new research conducted by scientists at the Ohio State University (OSU), students taking various courses have the same easy time learning from computer simulations of the concepts they are studying, as they do from actual, practical experiments. In their experiments, the investigators looked at how the... |

Over the last few years, numerous controversies have sprung up around massive particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Most often, critics fear that these giant machines will produce particle collisions that are so energetic that they could give birth to very small black holes. Physicists say th... |

Three applied mathematicians at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), and two astrophysicists have recently created the first computer simulations of the final hours of white dwarf stars, right before they explode into Type Ia supernovae. The full-star-simulati... |

Ever since astronomers started differentiating between spiral and elliptical galaxies, they have wondered what precisely makes some galaxies develop their trademark arms, while others remain without them. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral one, featuring two, or, according to new studies, four arms. A team of... |

Over recent years, the speed at which supercomputers process the datasets they are tasked with has increased so much that it now virtually exceeds the speed at which the computers can input or output this data. This means that graphics-processing clusters are slowly becoming obsolete, as they can no longer improve th... |

Experts at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) have recently taken another step in helping us understand the complex nature of our Universe, when they created the first high-complexity simulation of a supernova, the explosion that occurs when a massive star dies and collapses. T... |

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph) are among the most peculiar types of galaxies in the Universe. The low luminosity formations have first been observed as companions to the Milky Way and to the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), but understanding how they formed and where they came from is one of the most long-standing mysteries... |
