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, ...

Recent scientific discoveries have challenged our understanding of the geology beneath the Himalayas, suggesting that a ...

Most geologists believe the Himalayas’ immense height results from thickening of the Earth’s crust. However, a new study suggests the geology beneath the world’s tallest mountain range is much more ...

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 ...

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, ...
