First computer simulation that captures every molecule in a living cell through its full life cycle (w/video)

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

Light in the forest: Computer simulations show increased tree diversity from competition for canopy light

If a tree falls in the forest, it can create an opening for more incoming light, and that makes a significant impact on the surrounding environment, according to new research. An international science ...

Decades later, a Yale chemist’s water simulations continue to make waves

One of the most influential science studies of all time started with a modest minicomputer, some simulated boxes of water molecules, and a grand vision for computer-aided chemistry. The year was 1982.

How Do We Know We’re Not Living in a Computer Simulation?

Unless you, dear reader, are a web-scraping software bot quietly pulling this text into a data-hungry LLM, you’re probably a human. And though you’ve likely never seen me in person, you have good ...
