The Anderson transition is a phase transition that occurs in disordered systems, which entails a shift from a diffusive state (i.e., in which waves or particles are spread out) to a localized state, ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have detected a previously unknown quantum force capable of bending light in controlled lab simulations. This finding challenges our current understanding of ...

It looks like fireflies flickering in the darkness. Slowly, more and more amass, lighting up the screen in large chunks and clusters. But this is not a video about insects. It’s a simulation of the ...

Designing materials that steer light is a slow kind of trial and error. Each candidate structure must be tested in computer ...

Much remains a mystery about the first billion years of the universe’s history, the epoch in which the cosmos emerged from its dark ages with the dawning of the earliest stars and galaxies. Now ...

The demand for immersive, realistic graphics in mobile gaming and AR or VR is pushing the limits of mobile hardware. Achieving lifelike simulations of fluids, cloth, and other materials historically ...

Semiconductor engineering teams have long relied on an iterative simulation workflow: define the scenario, prepare the model, run the analysis, review the results, adjust the design, and repeat until ...

Physicists have long struggled to explain why the universe started with conditions suitable for life to evolve. Why do the physical laws and constants take the very specific values that allow stars, ...

As a physicist, I am trained to look for patterns in data. For example, the motion of the tiniest particles may seem random, but it contains patterns and symmetries. The same can be said of human ...
