Artist's conception of early starbursting galaxies. UC Davis astronomers collaborated on new simulations showing how bright galaxies could emerge early in the universe. Stars and galaxies are shown in ...

As planetary systems evolve, gravitational interactions between planets can fling some of them into eccentric elliptical orbits around the host star, or even out of the system altogether. Smaller ...

Climate changes in the tropical Pacific have temporarily put the brakes on rapid warming and ice melting in Greenland. A puzzling, decade-long slowdown in summer warming across Greenland has been ...

New simulations reveal how galaxy cluster collisions create ghostly radio relics. Turbulence and shock compression amplify ...

Stars that wander too close to supermassive black holes may be violently undone in a process called "spaghettification." New simulations provide the most detailed look ever at the gory interaction.

Billionaire Elon Musk shared his thoughts on simulation theory. He believes there is a high chance our reality is a computer simulation. Musk pointed to the rapid advancement of video games and AI. He ...

From solar energy optimization to infection-fighting medical devices, AltaSim Technologies is transforming product ...

Scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego and the California Institute of Technology are one step closer to understanding an enigma in climate change science: why do climate ...

If intelligent civilizations create simulations, it almost guarantees that we are already inside one, with virtual worlds potentially nested like Russian dolls. Officials advance controversial new ...
