To map out complex space trajectories, scientists rely on powerful numerical simulations—tools now central to the work of agencies like NASA and ESA. The recent discovery of comet 3I/Atlas offers a ...
For the first time, a group of cosmologists say they’ve created virtual galaxies inside their computers without any dark matter. Critics of dark matter see it as a win for a controversial model of how ...
The world's most powerful supercomputer dedicated to astronomy simulations was recently used to simulate the formation of a cluster of baby stars. Astronomers at the National Astronomical Observatory ...
Investigations into dark matter have revealed meaningful insights about the birth of the first-ever stars in the universe. Details regarding the investigation have been published in The Astrophysical ...
If you've ever poured milk into a cup of coffee and watched it swirl, you've seen turbulence in action. This phenomenon is responsible for everything from a bumpy airplane trip to ocean currents. Now, ...
BEIJING, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- China has made progress in scientific data simulation for the Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST), also known as the Xuntian Space Telescope, marking a crucial step in ...
