Is our entire universe just a computer simulation? Theoretical physicists believe they’ve found proof that our universe is far too complex to be captured in any simulation. According to the researchers, the hypothesis is done in by gravitational anomalies, tiny “twists” in the fabric of spacetime.

A solar eclipse might darken the day for minutes, but 65 million years ago the sun may have disappeared for 18 months. New simulations show that atmospheric particles would have blocked sunlight, disrupting plants' photosynthesis and cascading into a mass extinction event.

Red dwarf stars may host potential habitable exoplanets. Computer simulations to model how planets may form around these stars have found that many of them might be “water worlds,” covered in extremely deep oceans with icy cores – but don’t get your hopes up about habitability.

Unless you can afford the expense of a racing school or track day, getting close to the experience of riding in a F1 or GT race car is near impossible. Fortunately, the average race fan can now have something resembling that experience, with the opening of the Motion Simulation Room in England.

A team of scientists from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has released a revised model of the space environment prevailing throughout the solar system in the months leading up to New Horizons historic pass of the dwarf planet Pluto.

Virtual Dementia Experience, is a virtual reality system created at Australia's Swinburne University. It provides caregivers with an interactive simulation of what it's like to suffer from dementia, so they can better understand what their patients are experiencing.

Scientists from the University of Exeter have developed a piece of free software that lets you see the colors in photos the way that various animals would see them. It has already been used in a variety of research projects.

A study carried out by researchers from MIT and Purdue University seeks to challenge the established role of meteorites in planetary formation, arguing that rather than representing the kernel of planetary creation, that they are instead a by-product of the violent and often cataclysmic process.
