Space is one of the most popular settings for video games, and it's easy to see why. The wonder, the mystery, and getting to fly awesome spaceships. We're focusing on the latter today as we run down ...

For the past several years, a team of University of California astrophysicists working at Los Alamos National Laboratory have been using a cluster of roughly 300 computer processors to model some of ...

There's a crystal-clear reason why simulation games are popular: they allow us to experience things we'd otherwise never be able to try, all without risk and for a small cost. Indeed, we do these ...

Titan, Saturn's largest natural satellite, captivates scientists with its Earth-like processes, dense nitrogen atmosphere, and surface lakes of liquid hydrocarbons. However, its nonuniform gravity ...

The U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force see the future of modeling and simulation capabilities aiding readiness and continued training improvements, and they expect to harness advanced artificial ...

"We studied the last several orbits before the merger, when the entwined magnetic fields undergo rapid and dramatic changes, and modeled potentially observable high-energy signals." ...

Over the years, many companies have created their own takes on space flight simulations. It's risky, considering how easy it is to botch a simulation game. There are many different varieties and all ...
