A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell, from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division, scientists have opened a new frontier of computer vision into the ...

If recent measurements of cosmic ray particles are correct, then we may have the first evidence that the universe as we know it is really a giant computer simulation. Humans have explored the laws of ...

"I don't need the money, I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't really intellectually interesting for me." Jim Scapa, founder and chief executive of software maker Altair Engineering, was explaining ...

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

Using advanced computer simulations, researchers from the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) have concluded how and why strong ocean currents modify surface waves. "Our ...
