Using a specially developed simulation model, researchers at the University of Cologne have traced and analyzed the dynamics ...

Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever ...

The idea that we’re living inside a simulation, as popularized by “The Matrix” franchise, has piqued the interest of scientists for decades. In 2003, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed in a highly ...

Scientists prove the universe cannot be a simulation regardless of technology or computing power Quantum gravity theory shows space and time arise from mathematical structures of pure information ...

Bile duct cancer is classified by location: intrahepatic, perihilar, or distal, influencing symptoms and treatment options. Diagnosis involves blood tests, imaging, endoscopic procedures, and biopsy ...

The true nature of our universe as been an open debate for millennia, and recently, scientists and philosophers have pondered whether it might be a hyper-realistic simulation perpetuated by some super ...

Biliary atresia is a rare liver disease where bile ducts become blocked, leading to rapid liver damage in infants. Early diagnosis, ideally within the first 60 days of life, is the single most ...

Fluid-Implicit-Particle or FLIP is a method for simulating particle interactions in fluid dynamics, commonly used in visual effects for its speed. [Nick] adapted this technique into an impressive FLIP ...

The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release bile into tiny channels called bile canaliculi, which drain into the bile duct ...

Inflammation and scarring of the bile ducts—also known as cholangiopathies—can stop the bile from flowing, a vital fluid that helps digest fats. When bile can’t move through these ducts, it backs up ...

“Flow,” a dialogue-free animated Latvian film made with open-source software, is keeping our domesticated friends riveted. By Esther Zuckerman One night shortly before the Oscars ceremony, my ...
