(PhysOrg.com) -- While physicists at the Large Hadron Collider smash together thousands of protons and other particles to see what matter is made of, they
A group of three researchers from KEK, Shizuoka University and Osaka University has for the first time revealed the way our universe was born with 3 spatial dimensions from 10-dimensional superstring theory in which spacetime has 9 spatial directions and 1 temporal direction. This result was obtained by numerical simulation on a supercomputer.
IBM has announced the Blue Gene/Q supercomputer, with peak performance of 20 petaflops and 16 multi-processing core technology, marking it as one of the

(PhysOrg.com) -- The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) campus in Oak Ridge Tennessee will soon play host once again to the fastest computer in the world (barring any new sudden announcements by the Chinese). The computer, dubbed "Titan" has been commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy, and is expected to achieve 20,000 trillion calculations (20 petaflops) per second.

Scientists have developed and demonstrated the world
By DAVID GELERNTER If you want to repair a fancy race car at a pit stop, you could have a master mechanic go over the whole thing. Or you could hire a bunch of specialists—for the engine, brakes, suspension, tires—and have them swarm all over the car simultaneously. The crowd of specialists would do the job faster. And if you add more specialists (one for the front wheels, say, and one for the back), the job would go even faster. More Can a Computer Win on 'Jeopardy'? That's a big
