In the Earth’s orbit, a few centimeters can be the difference between a successful ...

Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it’s more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

Elastic collisions in one dimension are a clear example of physics in action, where both momentum and kinetic energy remain unchanged. With the right formulas, you can predict exactly how objects will ...

Earth could have lost anywhere between ten and 60 per cent of its atmosphere in the collision that is thought to have formed the Moon. New research led by Durham University, UK, shows how the extent ...

New simulations of two black holes colliding near the speed of light reveal the mysterious physics of what one astrophysicist calls "one of the most violent events you can imagine in the universe." ...

Semiconductor engineering teams have long relied on an iterative simulation workflow: define the scenario, prepare the model, ...

Cross-section snapshots of 3D simulations of giant impacts using 30 to 100 million particles, coloured by their material or their internal energy, related to their temperature. CREDIT Jacob Kegerreis, ...
