An aggressive posture is one thing – but doing something about it is another, as countries factor in the costs and risks of aggression.
One of the best ways to find out the challenges of living on Mars is to simulate living on another planet here on Earth. So what’s it like to spend several months living the Martian life?
Subtle manipulation of virtual reality can radically change how we respond without us even realising it.
We drew inspiration from nature’s response to complexity to help program the winning team in this year’s RoboCup Simulation League.
Scientists are using detailed computer models of the ocean to trace debris back through the currents to the potential crash site.
It’s 30 years since the release of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Here’s why he got away with it.
Human experience must remain at the heart of technological advances.
Computer models can help planners deal with large groups of people but we need better insight into the psychology of crowds to make them accurate.
