Georgia Tech researchers develop packet-level simulation capable of modeling over 1 million web browsers in near real time. The breakthrough offers new capabilities for engineers and scientists to analyze large-scale computer networks and find solutions to Internet problems.
Researchers used computer simulations to study the effect of foreign particles on crystal growth patterns. They found that these particles produced unique 'dizzy dendrite' patterns that can be replicated using specific methods.
Reid's undergraduate physics research earned her a trip to the International Conference of Physics Students in Denmark, where she will present her work. Her project focused on anomalous diffusion and percolation using computer simulations.
Researchers at Rutgers University and Los Alamos National Laboratories used computer simulations to predict that heated plutonium will collapse five percent in volume and exhibit anisotropic elastic properties, leading to unusual deformation behaviors. This study aims to aid material scientists and engineers in storing the metal.
Computer simulations can examine the performance of representative structures under blast loadings, exploring design alternatives. Researchers aim to distribute blast resistance capabilities more broadly across infrastructure, addressing technology areas through component testing and simulation.
A virtual stomach simulation reveals how pills break down and release medication in the stomach, with key findings including three distinct zones and effects of buoyancy on mixing and drug release. The technology aims to improve extended-release tablet formulations and shed light on diseases involving stomach motility.
Aquaporins regulate water flux in various tissues, including the kidney, eye lens, and brain. Recent computer simulations revealed a 'dance' of water molecules through aquaporin channels, controlled by protein parts that increase permeation rates while blocking proton passage.
Researchers at the University of Illinois developed a computer simulation to understand nanoelectronics, a field where single electrons control devices. The simulation explores the interplay between quantum mechanics and matter's granularity, enabling scientists to design and optimize next-generation nanoscale electronic devices.
A team of astrophysicists and computer scientists has captured the entire observable universe in a computer simulation, depicting how gravity gathered ripples from the big bang into cosmic structures. This unprecedented model aims to better interpret data from large surveys and understand rarest structures in the cosmos.
