An international team of astronomers has carried out what is believed to be the largest ever cosmological computer simulation, tracking not only dark but also ordinary matter (such as planets, stars ...

A massive simulation of the cosmos and a nod to the next generation of computing A team of physicists and computer scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory ...

The consortium running the European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid mission has published the most extensive simulation of the cosmos to date. The modeling was based on algorithms developed by UZH ...

Cosmological simulations of dark matter halos form the backbone of our understanding of large-scale structure in the Universe. By numerically evolving millions to billions of particles under gravity, ...

Cosmologist Francisco “Paco” Villaescusa-Navarro has a problem. “We are spending billions of dollars in ground and space telescopes to decipher the mysteries of the universe,” he explains, “but we are ...

Cosmological simulations have become indispensable tools for understanding the assembly of galaxies within the framework of a ΛCDM Universe. By numerically integrating the coupled equations of gravity ...

In dark skies at night, distant starlight twinkles and speaks to vast cosmic histories almost as old as time itself. New data ...

The dynamical dance of physics can entrance — as the latest supercomputer models of the cosmos demonstrate. Dubbed FLAMINGO, the set of simulations captures the emergence of the structure of the ...

A strategy borrowed from generative AI — train cheaply on the familiar, then fine-tune on the hard problem — can cut the number of expensive physics simulations needed by nearly a factor of ten. But a ...
