Gas kinetic theory provides the fundamental framework for understanding the behaviour of gases from the molecular scale to macroscopic flow phenomena. Recent developments in simulation methods have ...

In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in plasma physics research. In the past, large magnetic fusion experiments have made considerable progress, with theory often being subordinate and ...

GEM is a comprehensive electromagnetic gyrokinetic delta-f particle code that includes the full dynamics of gyrokinetic ions and drift-kinetic electrons. Magnetic perturbations perpendicular to the ...

I'm very glad that I'm not a particle physicist. In the excitement of the LHC starting up, breaking, starting up again, performing beautifully, and finding the Higgs Boson, we seem to forget that ...

Researchers have used a calcium ion to simulate a relativistic quantum particle, demonstrating a phenomenon that has not been directly observable so far: the Zitterbewegung. Researchers of the ...

Physicists are still chasing the dream of Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking to capture the workings of the entire universe in a single equation. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

What if the classic late 90s sci-fi flick The Matrix actually had it right? What if we're all just living inside of a computer simulation? That's the idea behind a 2003 paper by Nick Bostrom, a ...

What if everything we know about the world is just a simulation? This thought-provoking question has been at the center of the Simulation Theory, a concept that has become increasingly popular in ...
