Virtual sailing gives competitors the edge

Newcastle University's Yacht and Superyacht Research Group show how virtual simulation can be used to accurately predict how a yacht will behave during a race.

Virtual plant commissioning helps automation engineering

Virtual commissioning helps automation engineers build and start up production installations such as large plants in the chemicals industry. Long before the real installation is put into service, operators can test the automation ...

Testbeds to breed next-generation systems

(PhysOrg.com) -- The systems that let you zap a photo to a friend, or an astronomer to control a telescope continents away, require intensive simulation and testing. Research has now made those key steps far easier.

New research may save lives in suicide bombings

Florida Institute of Technology researchers have determined that where a person is standing in a room or other location during a suicide terrorist attack can have a great bearing on survival and injuries.

Super-sized tiny proteins

What are the causes of illness? How can the effect of medication be improved? Molecular biologists can now gain new insights by the virtual simulations generated with a new type of software.

Virtual simulation will test new transport services

As part of the Mobility on Demand Laboratory Environment (MODLE) project, Transport Systems Catapult, University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) and Esoterix Systems are developing a micro-simulation platform. The MODLE ...
