COMSOL Multiphysics version 6.4 accelerates engineering simulations and multiphysics models. Full GPU support across all physics delivers up to 5× speedups in benchmarks. COMSOL now supports GPU ...

A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden extra dimensions. These dimensions could twist and evolve over time, forming ...

Kids in elementary school learn—or are supposed to learn—how to add fractions and round numbers. But many students at the University of California, San Diego—a top public university ranked sixth ...

The latest version of the multiphysics simulation software introduces GPU acceleration through NVIDIA's CUDA® direct sparse solver, the Granular Flow Module and time-explicit structural dynamic ...

Journal Editorial Report: The week's best and worst from Kim Strassel, Jason Riley and Dan Henninger. Remember when the University of California kicked off a trend by eliminating the SAT test as an ...

For the past several years, America has been using its young people as lab rats in a sweeping, if not exactly thought-out, education experiment. Schools across the country have been lowering standards ...

Math scores in the US have been so bad for so long that teachers could be forgiven for trying anything to improve them. Unfortunately, many of the strategies they’re using could be making things worse ...

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...

This is read by an automated voice. Please report any issues or inconsistencies here. American students are experiencing a math crisis marked by a decline in scores that began over a decade ago and ...

A hidden quantum geometry that distorts electron paths has finally been observed in real materials. This “quantum metric,” once thought purely theoretical, may revolutionize electronics, ...

Can you imagine the imprint a four-dimensional hexagon might leave as it passes through your three-dimensional kitchen table? Probably not, but some people can. One such person was mathematician ...

Physicists recently mapped the hidden shape that underlies the quantum behaviors of a crystal, using a new method that’s expected to become ubiquitous. Famously, at the quantum scale, particles can be ...
