Elisa Passini, Blanca Rodriguez and Patricia Benito think computers are now much better for testing new heart drugs on than animals. Safety is imperative before new medicines are given to patients, ...

A key protein for converting adult stem cells into cells that resemble embryonic stem cells has been visualized in unprecedented detail by an international team of researchers around Hans Schöler and ...

In a new study, researchers show that computer simulations can accurately predict the transmission of HIV across populations, which could aid in preventing the disease. In a recently published study ...

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 ...

New software techniques could reduce research costs by streamlining simulations for solar cells, batteries and other materials. One of the building blocks for quantum computer simulation has been ...

This chapter considers the potential to scale up the use of simulations and games for science learning. The first section provides an overview of current market penetration of games in formal and ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Edward Segal covers crisis-related news, topics, and issues. Like pilots, some business executives are using computer simulations ...

Safety is imperative before new medicines are given to patients – which is why drugs are tested on millions of animals worldwide each year to detect possible risks and side effects. But research shows ...

EVANSTON, Ill. --- Prevailing theoretical models attempting to explain the formation of the solar system have assumed it to be average in every way. Now a new study by Northwestern University ...
