A small percentage of coronavirus infections are acquired during the school day, a new study suggests. Researchers conducted several simulations and found fewer than five percent of COVID-19-related illnesses among students and teachers occurred at school and that most cases were contracted within the community. The team, from Public Health Ontario, in Canada, says its … Read more
New supercomputer simulations show how the Moon may have formed through the collision of Earth with a Mars-sized planet called Theia about 4.5 billion years ago. UK scientists have produced several animations of simulation scenarios, each showing a different amount of spin ‘wandering planet’ Theia may have had as it approached Earth. Each simulation depicts various explosive … Read more
A virtual reality simulation system costing £300,000 is being trialled by the Royal Air Force (RAF) in an effort to make combat training more immersive and realistic. The ‘first-person shooter’ -style combat game is being developed under contract with the UK Ministry of Defence by the veteran-run software company SimCentric. The simulation software — dubbed ‘SAF-TAC’ … Read more
Computer simulation that creates 3D model of a dead body and surrounding scene can determine time of death down to MINUTES instead of hours by showing how body temperature has dropped Scientist developed a computer model to determine a person’s time of death They fed the model data such as the victim’s skin, body size, … Read more
A new simulation appears to indicate that current social distancing guidelines may not be enough to keep joggers safe during the coronavirus pandemic. The video, established by Professor Bert Blocken and Fabio Malizia (KU Leuven & Technology University Eiondhoven (TU/e) and powered by simulation technology company Ansys, shows that droplets can spread more than six feet … Read more
