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
- In an effort to improve treatments and vaccines, a team at the University of Chicago has created the first computer model of the SARS-COV-2 virus. And they made it available to anyone who needs it.
- By collecting an astounding amount of data from researchers around the world, scientists have developed a 3D model of the Earth’s mantle – one of the unexplored frontiers.
Scientific Forces
- Did human life actually start on Mars? Learn the truth behind this and other Mars myths here.
- It’s becoming clear that some illnesses, like Autism and Parkinson’s disease, often start in the gut. Researchers are only now starting to work out exactly how this happens – leading to better treatment and cures.
Physics Lesson
- Are you surprised to learn that Earth’s magnetic field isn’t a stable force field? In fact, it’s pretty weird. Read more about it here.
News from Coupi
