The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer ...

Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analyzed the dynamics ...

Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever ...

Experts are increasingly turning to machine learning to predict antibiotic resistance in pathogens. With its help, resistance mechanisms can be identified based on a pathogen’s genetics. However, the ...

Are Machine Learning (ML) algorithms superior to traditional econometric models for GDP nowcasting in a time series setting? Based on our evaluation of all models from both classes ever used in ...

The true nature of our universe as been an open debate for millennia, and recently, scientists and philosophers have pondered whether it might be a hyper-realistic simulation perpetuated by some super ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Abstract: Offshore wind farms have emerged as a crucial component of renewable energy generation, offering higher energy production rates due to stronger and more consistent wind conditions. However, ...

Introduction: Hip exoskeletons can lower the metabolic cost of walking in many tasks and populations, but their assistance patterns must be tailored to each user. We developed a simulation-based, ...

Abstract: Optimizing the parameters of telecommunications networks, such as the azimuths of transmitters, is essential to improving coverage and service quality. Adjusting the azimuths is sometimes a ...
