Geostationary orbit simulation in GlowScript VPython: a practical tutorial that demonstrates orbital mechanics and physics-based visualization of satellites maintaining a fixed position relative to ...

A Martian volcano once thought to be the result of a single eruption turns out to have a much more complex past. Orbital imaging and mineral data show it developed through multiple eruptive phases, ...

Building an elastic collision simulator with springs in Python to model realistic physics interactions and dynamic object collisions. Learn how to implement spring forces, momentum conservation, and ...

Seismologists have discovered and made images of a reservoir of hot, partly molten rock 12 to 28 miles beneath the Yellowstone supervolcano, and it is 4.4 times larger than the shallower, long-known ...

Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to CuriousKidsUS@theconversation.com. Is the whole universe just a simulation?

Simulation games aren't just the realm of thousand-dollar joystick setups and force feedback racing chairs; they can encompass anything, really, from cleaning stubborn dirt to designing the most ...

Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) face scalability challenges, notably barren plateaus, where the loss landscape flattens with increasing system size. Here, the authors explore an analog VQA ...
