computer modeling

Despite increasingly strict journal policies requiring the release of computational code files along with research papers, many scientists remain reluctant to share—underscoring the need for better solutions.

Texas A&M cited potential foreign interference when explaining why it shut down a jointly run modeling laboratory.

Folding@Home, currently focused on deciphering the workings of SARS-CoV-2, is the first project to have exascale-level computational muscle.

The silicon chips receive and send electrical signals, recreating activity from neurons in the rat brain that play a role in breathing and thinking.

Neuromorphic technology is fueling fast, large-scale simulations, supporting researchers’ endeavors to build models of the human brain.

Scientists can now view mitosis one protein (or more) at a time using a 4-D computer model.

Researchers have created a 3D-printed artificial neural network that uses light photons to rapidly process information.

The function of early hominins’ enlarged brow ridges, and their reduction in size in Homo sapiens, have puzzled paleoanthropologists for decades.

Ecological challenges such as finding food and creating fire may have led the organ to become abnormally large, a new computer model suggests.

A new microscopy program requires no fluorescent markers to identify cell type, nuclei, and other characteristics.

The jigsaw-shape cells found in the epidermis of many plants may serve to reduce mechanical stress on cell walls.

A computer model estimates that gene-drive technology could wipe out populations of an invasive mammal on islands. 

Using simulations, scientists report that a mixture of termites and plant competition may be responsible for the strange patterns of earth surrounded by plants in the Namib desert. 

The UCLA neurobiologist uses computational modeling, in vitro electrophysiology, and human psychophysics experiments to explore how neurons and the brain as a whole perceive and respond to time.
