With just an iPad, students in any classroom across the world could soon reimagine the ordinary diagrams in any physics textbook—transforming these static images into 3D simulations that run, leap or ...

During our academic journey, there are subjects we enjoy more and others we find quite difficult. It’s no wonder that we often seek ways to better understand the tough concepts of the difficult ...

The effects of the radiation environment on the instruments of the XMM-Newton spacecraft were modeled with GEANT4 prior to launch by the European Space Agency in 1999. XMM-Newton carries the most ...

This is a game that utilizes real physics simulation, where the protagonist interacts with props in the scene through a physics simulation engine. Therefore, every time you play, it offers you a ...

While they don’t give the physical thrill of a real one, model roller coasters are always fun to watch. However, they actually make a poor analog of a full-sized ride, as gravitational force and ...
