You can’t predict the future, of course, but that doesn’t stop some financial professionals from trying. Of the many methods devised to anticipate different possible futures in financial planning, ...

I am looking to estimate the potential for failure in a complex system using Monte Carlo simulation. I am quite familiar with using MC for engineering simulations, but have never approached the ...

Important events sometimes occur with too little notice. Occasionally, even a monumental development can escape adequate attention. An example of this occurred on Jan. 9. That day saw a historic ...

Researchers have developed a highly efficient method to investigate systems with long-range interactions that were previously puzzling to experts. These systems can be gases or even solid materials ...

Monte Carlo simulations have become indispensable in radiation biology and dosimetry, enabling researchers to model with high precision the cascade of interactions that occur when ionising radiation ...

With highly specialized instruments, we can see materials on the nanoscale – but we can’t see what many of them do. That limits researchers’ ability to develop new therapeutics and new technologies ...

Rick Ferri, the tenacious burr under the saddle of asset-based financial planning business models, is at it again. Concurrent with his ongoing battle to push the financial advice industry toward lower ...

Over the years, semiconductor process nodes have been scaled aggressively, with device dimensions now approaching below 5nm. This, along with lower device operating voltages and currents, has allowed ...

Worst-case scenario simulations ensure manufacturing is prepared for all contingencies, but over-sizing or under-sizing may ensue. This results in larger than necessary filters and columns that may ...

A new method is using Monte Carlo simulations to extend the capabilities of transmission electron microscopy and answer fundamental questions in polymer science. With highly specialized instruments, ...
