New Study Uses Math to Decode Creativity and Idea Formation
A new study published in Nature Communications explores the mathematical foundations of creativity. Researchers introduced a model called Edge-Reinforced Random Walk with Triggering (ERRWT) to simulate how new ideas emerge by combining familiar elements. By analysing music habits, literature, and scientific papers, the study found that while discov...

Interstellar Object Could Have Shifted Trajectories of Four Planets, New Research Shows
A recent study suggests that an interstellar object, possibly as massive as eight times Jupiter, may have passed through the solar system billions of years ago, significantly altering the orbits of its outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Using computer simulations, researchers found that in about 1% of the scenarios, such a close ...

Scientists Investigate Hypernuclei To Understand Subatomic Forces and Neutron Stars
A groundbreaking study on hypernuclei, led by Ulf-G. Meißner from the Institute for Advanced Simulation, uses nuclear lattice effective field theory to explore the interactions of Λ-hyperons within atomic nuclei. The research, published in The European Physical Journal A, provides key insights into the forces that shape hypernuclei and their pote...

Supergiant Star Betelgeuse Might Have a Hidden Companion Star, New Study Claims
Recent research suggests that Betelgeuse, the prominent red supergiant in the Orion constellation, might have a hidden companion star, nicknamed “Betelbuddy.” Led by Jared Goldberg at the Flatiron Institute, the study proposes that this unseen star could be influencing Betelgeuse's unusual brightness fluctuations. Using computer simulations, th...

Dwarf Planet Ceres Once Hosted a Muddy Ocean Below Its Icy Surface
Recent research indicates that Ceres, the largest object in the asteroid belt, likely harboured a muddy ocean beneath its icy crust. Advanced computer simulations suggest that its surface features and gravity measurements point to a past rich in ice. With its proximity to Earth, Ceres presents a promising target for further exploration, making it t...

Microsoft Launches New Computing Service, Aims to Help Speed Up R&D
Microsoft on Wednesday introduced a new computing service aimed at helping chemical companies speed up the research and development of new materials. Azure Quantum Elements, as the service is called, relies on computing power to help chemical companies simulate huge numbers of possible combinations of atoms. The point is to use computers to explore...

Water Separates Into Two Different Liquids in Supercooled Conditions, Study Shows
A team of researchers have demonstrated that water splits into two different liquids under low temperatures. This new kind of phase transition in the water was first proposed in a study 30 years ago, and has now been demonstrated in a new study by a team from the University of Birmingham that used a computer simulation to show the high-density and ...

Scientists Find Out Why Jupiter Doesn't Have Glorious Rings Like Saturn
Scientists have uncovered why Jupiter does not have rings like its neighbouring planet Saturn. Researchers from the University of California, Riverside, ran a computer simulation of both Jupiter's orbits and the four main moons that surrounded it to understand why the giant gaseous planet is missing the hoops.

Earth's Formation Explained With the Help of New Theory Using Laboratory Experiments, Computer Simulations
In a recent study to understand the composition of the Earth, researchers at ETH Zurich created dynamic models and simulated the formation of planets. Researchers ran simulations and collided thousands of planetesimals with each other in the early solar system. They observed that a mixture of several different planetesimals could lead to Earth's co...

Genome Study Provides Important Insight on Endangered Vaquita Native to Mexico's Gulf of California
Genetic Assessment has provided new hope to save small tropical porpoise native to Mexico's Gulf of California with its population dwindling to about 10. Computational simulations performed by the researchers to predict extinction risk showed that vaquitas have a high chance of rebounding if fishing gillnets are completely eliminated from their hab...
