It is a notion that seems like science fiction—but one that is based in physics and evidence that the universe appears to be operating suspiciously like a computer simulation. In digital ...

In the early 2000s, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed that our reality is a computer simulation dreamed up by a highly advanced civilization, echoing the plot of the 1999 blockbuster "The Matrix." ...

This book presents the art of advanced MOSFET modeling for integrated circuit simulation and design. It provides the essential mathematical and physical analyses of all the electrical, mechanical and ...

Many scientists have studied and wondered whether the universe is really nothing more than some sort of simulation. Now, one scientist has put forth the theory that the law of gravity could be proof ...

Scientific research, traditionally reliant on manual hypothesis generation, experimentation, and analysis, is undergoing a ...

Computer-aided full-wave electromagnetic (EM) analysis has been used in microwave engineering for the past decade. Initially, its main application area was design verification. Today, ...

How Noise Can Aid Some Computing Problems. Conventionally, noise is the enemy of computation. However, certain applications actually rely on artificially generated noise. And usin ...

At the core of this achievement are advanced tensor network contraction techniques, which efficiently estimate the output probabilities of quantum circuits. To make the simulation feasible, the ...

BabyBot, a soft robot simulating infant feeding, offers a breakthrough model for pediatric care, development, and biomedical ...

For more than a quarter of a century since its release, 'The Matrix' has fueled modern fears that life is not all it seems. But according to a scientist, the classic movie's premise may not be ...

We often think of analog computing as a relic of the past, room-sized monstrosities filled with vacuum tubes doing their best to calculate Monte Carlo simulations or orbital velocities.
