A groundbreaking computational physics framework has demonstrated that the three-dimensional fabric of the universe can be generated from scratch using a simple algorithm with exactly zero free ...

If you’ve ever tried printing an AI-generated 3D model, you know that the experience can come with some obstacles: the 3D model may have an undesirable “AI bumps” (small, irregular imperfections or ...

Ken Ono’s career as one of the world’s most prominent mathematicians has taken him to places that he never could have fathomed. The renowned University of Virginia professor regularly ventures far ...

When natural disaster strikes, a building’s survival often depends on how it’s built. Engineers at Carnegie Mellon University have created a fast, highly accurate simulator for spray-based concrete 3D ...

SIMA 2, which can figure out how to solve problems inside virtual worlds, could lead to more general-purpose agents and better robots. Google DeepMind has built a new video-game-playing agent called ...

Unity has published its financial results for the third quarter of its fiscal year, seeing modest but better-than-expected gains across most segments, including its Create Solutions and Grow Solutions ...

For decades, philosophers, technologists, and even billionaires like Elon Musk have toyed with the idea that our universe might be a highly sophisticated computer simulation. The idea represents one ...

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 idea that we might be living inside a vast computer simulation, much like in The Matrix, has fascinated philosophers and scientists for years. But a new study from researchers at the University of ...

If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that ...

We’ve often thought that 3D printers make excellent school projects. No matter what a student’s interests are: art, software, electronics, robotics, chemistry, or physics, there’s something for ...
