Every couple of months we get a request from someone for a course on avoiding fixed object collisions. Usually, we don’t even get that much detail in the request, it’s just “do you have a fixed object ...

The computer graphics community is always interested in faster methods to generate images. This is why Pixar and several other organizations are funding the research of a Carnegie Mellon University ...

Building an elastic collision simulator with springs in Python to model realistic physics interactions and dynamic object collisions. Learn how to implement spring forces, momentum conservation, and ...

Extreme solar activity or even a software glitch could put us just days away from a satellite collision in low-Earth orbit.

Carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur are crucial to life on Earth. But the relative amounts of those elements are different from those of other rocky objects in our solar system, so scientists have been ...

On Aug. 14, 2019, a gravitational wave -- a massive ripple through the fabric of space-time -- washed over the Earth. The wave was detected by sophisticated, fine-tuned lasers in the U.S. and Italy.

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

Computer-controlled collision avoidance systems aren't brand-new, but they're still not entirely beyond the testing stage, either, as Volvo's infamous demonstration proved just a few months ago. But ...
