Northwestern researchers have created the world's first audio simulation of twinkling stars. They did this by converting simulations of gas waves produced inside stars into sound waves. They hope the ...

The gorgeous animation is the most realistic of its kind to date, according to the team, and could teach us valuable lessons about how stars are formed in the universe. The computational framework, ...

As scientists continue to investigate humanity’s cosmic origins, they deploy more and more supercomputer simulations. A team of researchers at the European Space Agency, for example, wants to build a ...

Stars are a miraculous balance between the pull of gravity and the extreme pressure from a star’s white hot core pushing back. From this equilibrium, heat and energy churn in a complex — and brutally ...

Scientists have developed the longest and most complex simulation to date of a binary neutron star collision that results in the formation of a black hole and a jet. The breakthrough will massively ...

The simulation can take three months to run on one of the world’s fastest supercomputers. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

The simulation run by Hayashi and his colleagues sheds new light on the complex physics of binary neutron star mergers, showing that when these mergers are followed by the formation of black holes, ...

The most realistic computer simulation of star formation yet offers stunning views of what the inside of a stellar nursery might look like. In the Star Formation in Gaseous Environments simulation, or ...
