Infrastructures often suffer severe damage due to geotechnical hazards of both natural kinds such as floods or earthquakes and man-made ones like underground construction work and excavations. The ...

Computational electromagnetics applies advanced numerical methods to solve Maxwell’s equations in complex geometries, enabling accurate simulations of electromagnetic phenomena across diverse scales.

Physicists have spent decades arguing over whether our universe is a fundamental reality or a kind of cosmic software, and ...

GEM is a comprehensive electromagnetic gyrokinetic delta-f particle code that includes the full dynamics of gyrokinetic ions and drift-kinetic electrons. Magnetic perturbations perpendicular to the ...

Brad Settlemyer had a supercomputing solution in search of a problem. Los Alamos National Lab, where Settlemyer works as a research scientist, hosts the Trinity supercomputer—a machine that regularly ...

A new technique allows complex interactions in materials to be simulated using Monte Carlo simulations thousands of times ...

A new learning system improves robots' abilities to mold materials into target shapes and make predictions about interacting with solid objects and liquids. The system, known as a learning-based ...

There have been many attempts at teaching robots how to grab delicate objects, but they tend to rely on rough approximations that quickly fall apart in real life. MIT researchers may have a better ...
