SANTA CRUZ, CA–The Bolshoi supercomputer simulation, the most accurate and detailed large cosmological simulation run to date, gives physicists and astronomers a powerful new tool for understanding ...

A universe evolves over billions upon billions of years, but researchers have developed a way to create a complex simulated universe in less than a day. The technique, published in this week's ...

(Nanowerk News) An international team of astronomers has carried out what is believed to be the largest ever cosmological computer simulation, tracking not only dark but also ordinary matter (such as ...

Researchers are sifting through an avalanche of data produced by one of the largest cosmological simulations ever performed. Researchers are sifting through an avalanche of data produced by one of the ...

Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have acquired an “avalanche of data” from one of the largest cosmological simulations ever. The simulation, called the Q ...

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) led the development of a new numerical procedure to reproduce the intergalactic medium obtained from a cosmological simulation of 100,000 hours of ...

Astronomers running cosmological simulations face a fundamental trade-off: with finite computing power, typical simulations so far have been either very detailed or have spanned a large volume of ...

There are hundreds of billions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. Estimates indicate a similar number of galaxies in the observable universe, each with its own large assemblage of stars, many with ...
