The European Union’s 10-year Human Brain Project is coming to a close. Whether this controversial 1 billion-euro project achieved its aims is unclear, but its online forum did foster collaboration.
When it comes to physics experiments, quantum simulations aren’t quite the real thing – but in some cases they’re much closer than you’d expect.
There may be ways to check if our universe is just simulated entertainment for an advanced, alien species.
Digital twins could be used in the future to predict and influence our behaviour, but this raises concerns about who owns our data and how we can access and control it.
The test facility in Miami helps building designers prevent future storm damage. With the warming climate intensifying hurricanes, engineers are planning a new one with 200 mph winds and storm surge.
Plus, a philosopher explains the history of the idea that we might all be living in a simulation. Listen to The Conversation Weekly podcast.
The model provides county-level analysis and simulates the benefits of mask-wearing in terms of illnesses and deaths.
Even on ‘Mars’, humans waste food. And some types of food are more likely to end up in the bin than others.
Environmental change can be a slow creep towards disaster for species. We studied how prehistoric humans coped to help make sense of the future using video game technology.
Video games were once thought to offer an escape from everyday life – but they often hold a mirror to what we do in reality.
In the ‘World Climate’ simulation, people play delegates to UN climate negotiations and work to strike an agreement that meets global climate goals. Playing it has made thousands want to take action.
As the internet-connected world reels from revelations about personalized manipulation based on Facebook data, a scholar of virtual reality warns there’s an even bigger crisis of trust on the horizon.
Will humans ever live on Mars? Whoever it is to get there first will benefit from the experiences of those who stayed in simulated Martian missions here on Earth.
An aggressive posture is one thing – but doing something about it is another, as countries factor in the costs and risks of aggression.
One of the best ways to find out the challenges of living on Mars is to simulate living on another planet here on Earth. So what’s it like to spend several months living the Martian life?
Subtle manipulation of virtual reality can radically change how we respond without us even realising it.
We drew inspiration from nature’s response to complexity to help program the winning team in this year’s RoboCup Simulation League.
Scientists are using detailed computer models of the ocean to trace debris back through the currents to the potential crash site.
It’s 30 years since the release of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Here’s why he got away with it.
