Is your life really your life, or is it actually the dream of a butterfly? Or is it a complex computer simulation indistinguishable from “real” reality? Don’t worry, it’s just a glitch in the Matrix.

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals, and now dueling teams of researchers are claiming they finally have the ...

A breakthrough by UC Davis mathematicians could help scientists get three or four times the performance from supercomputers used to model protein folding, turbulence and other complex atomic-scale ...

There’s no shortage of ways to use PhET simulations in (or out of) the classroom. Effectively, any time you’d use a static PowerPoint slide or textbook image to demonstrate a concept, it’s worth ...

CU Boulder’s PhET Interactive Simulations are providing critical support to teachers, students and parents during the COVID-19 pandemic As schools adapt to the new normal of teaching remotely, ...

Earthquakes happen daily, sometimes with devastating consequences, yet predicting them remains out of reach. What scientists can do is map the hidden layers beneath the surface that control how ...

This lets engineers use the math software to parameterize Pro/E drawings using formulas ranging from simple functions to sophisticated sets of equations. Despite its capability, the software is easy ...
