Using advanced computer simulations, researchers from the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) have concluded how and why strong ocean currents modify surface waves. "Our ...

New Rutgers research suggests much of the seemingly endless waiting for complex medical care can be engineered away by recreating operations inside a computer and testing countless possible ...

China's own computer simulations show that a single J-20 Mighty Dragon has less than a 10% chance of defeating an F-22 Raptor in combat. The U.S. fighter — powered by Pratt & Whitney F119 turbofans ...

A military planner at the Joint Forces Command in Norfolk, Virginia, watches a battle unfold without taking his eyes off the computer screen. The software is tracking a million vehicles spread over ...

Novatron was one of 30 private fusion initiatives to attend the Inaugural Private Sector Fusion Workshop, which was held from 27 to 29 May in Cadarache, France at the headquarters of the ITER ...

Computer simulations can predict the spread of wildfires through sections of a real forest using a realistic yet computationally efficient new method to model the combustion of individual trees. The ...

Before a drug or medical device is approved for use in humans, it must undergo a clinical trial. Clinical trials ultimately aim to answer two simple questions: is the drug or device safe? And does it ...

This chapter considers the potential to scale up the use of simulations and games for science learning. The first section provides an overview of current market penetration of games in formal and ...
