To give teachers more confidence and preparation for classroom responsibilities, some schools and districts are employing new simulation-based training tools in their professional development.

“Force fields” have long captured our imagination — the invisible shields of science-fiction lore that protect starships and superheroes from harm. But in the world of scientific discovery, force ...

In the echoing expanse of a Sunnyvale food bank, Silicon Valley leaders scrambled across a warehouse floor, making a dull cacophony as they ran to different tables where they begged for work, ...

Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to CuriousKidsUS@theconversation.com. Is the whole universe just a simulation?

Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving models while retaining their accuracy. The approach retains physics-based ...

Abstract: This paper presents an innovative Aerial-terrestrial self-organized network simulation framework, which aims to build an environment monitoring system that is both efficient and intelligent ...

People have long asked whether the world they experience is fundamentally real or the product of a simulation, a question often framed today as the simulation hypothesis. A new paper examines a ...

The simulation hypothesis—the idea that our universe might be an artificial construct running on some advanced alien computer—has long captured the public imagination. Yet most arguments about it rest ...

Thomas Anderson – otherwise known as Neo – is walking up a flight of stairs when he sees a black cat shake itself and walk past a doorway. Then the moment seems to replay before his eyes. Just a touch ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...
