Welcome to our monthly roundup of the best links on the internet about engineering, physics, and computer modeling! This month’s edition is full of interesting videos, articles, and resources to keep you up to date with the world of computer-assisted engineering and discrete elements methods.
Simulating the Real World
- Where are we most likely to find extraterrestrial life? When will it most likely form? A new computer model developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is helping us uncover the answers.
- The dynamics of granular materials, e.g., sand or coffee beans, has been “a major unsolved problem in physics.” Researchers at the Imperial College of London are using computer modeling to get one step closer to the answer.
Practical Applications
- The study of signal transduction is paving the way for better cancer treatments that leave healthy cells alone. Here’s how new computer modeling software is helping.
- Researchers are identifying vulnerable sites on coronavirus protein, resulting in more effective treatments.
Physics Lesson
- Did you know that the earth is starting to spin faster? Here’s what we know.
News from Coupi
- When it comes to DEM modeling software, you may wonder what separates Coupi from all the rest? Here are just some of the key features that puts our software ahead in terms of capabilities.
