A physicist has mounted one of the most detailed technical challenges yet against the idea that our universe is a computer simulation, arguing that the energy required to run such a program would ...

The idea that reality might be a kind of cosmic software has moved from late night dorm debates into serious physics journals, and now dueling teams of researchers are claiming they finally have the ...

As a physicist, I am trained to look for patterns in data. For example, the motion of the tiniest particles may seem random, but it contains patterns and symmetries. The same can be said of human ...

The introduction of full 3D-ICs will require a simultaneous analysis of various physical effects under different workloads, a step-function change that will add complexity at every step of the design ...

Quantum many-body physics explores emergent properties of many interacting quantum particles, which often have no counterpart in classical systems. Of particular interest is the study of ...

Synopsys has made another quiet acquisition, this time in the TCAD space. Gold Standard Simulations (GSS) offers a suite of solutions for design technology co-optimization (DTCO), PDK development and ...
