The background image shows the present-day distribution of matter in a slice through the largest FLAMINGO simulation, which is a cubic volume of 2.8 Gpc (9.1 billion light years) on a side. The ...

Physicists at the University of Oxford have contributed to a new study which has found that iron-rich asteroids can tolerate far more energy than previously thought without breaking apart—a ...

A scientist from Tokyo Metropolitan University has shown that large gamma-ray-emitting bubbles around the center of the Milky Way were produced by fast, outward-blowing winds and an associated ...

The dynamical dance of physics can entrance — as the latest supercomputer models of the cosmos demonstrate. Dubbed FLAMINGO, the set of simulations captures the emergence of the structure of the ...

China has achieved a significant milestone in the development of its Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST), also known as ...

The Center for Computational Astrophysics at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) has introduced the HPE Cray XD2000 system as a new supercomputer to replace the current dedicated ...

A new simulation of the galaxy’s magnetic turbulence shakes up how we think about—and visualize—the astrophysical environments. The model was developed by James Beattie, a postdoctoral fellow at the ...

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 ...

The Space Force wants better virtual training simulations that mimic real-life threats to better hone guardians’ skills, a top defense official said. The Space Force began the “commit” phase of its ...
