With the magnificent real images of water pouring from the sky and the after-fire fumes from a car, there is no escaping from the laws of physics in movies either! Fluid simulation in the ’50s and ...

Most engineers are familiar with finite-element analysis and its usefulness in structural problems, but they aren't as well versed in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A goal plot looks like this ...

Storm surges or collapsing dams: authentic simulations of water flows are not only important for special effects in disaster movies, but could also help to protect coastal regions. For more realistic ...

In the quirky quantum world, particles can be affected by forces that they never directly encounter. A classic example is the ...

Cadence and Nvidia expand their AI partnership to close the sim-to-real gap in robotics, fusing physics engines with Nvidia’s ...

Up until now, NVIDIA's PhysX technology hasn't been used in games all that well. Even today, it's still just a technology demo, and a technology acquisition by NVIDIA, but they continue to keep their ...

Balance the flow: Simulations reveal that the gut alternates between different patterns of contraction to optimize nutrient absorption while regulating the growth of bacteria inside the gut. (Courtesy ...

The brain is more mechanically connected to the body than previously appreciated, scientists report in Nature Neuroscience.
