But research shows computer simulations of the heart have the potential to improve drug development for patients and reduce the need for animal testing.

Pushing computer science boundaries While simulations of heart cells can run in a few minutes, 3D computer models of the whole heart still require a huge amount of computational power.

New computer models predict the risk of side effects from heart drugs more accurately than animal models. Researchers from the University of Oxford (UK) have developed computer simulations that are ...

Computer simulations build on, and are a useful adjunct to purely mathematical models in science, technology and entertainment.

Students can learn some science concepts just as well from computers simulations as they do from direct observation, new research suggests. A study found that people who used computer simulations ...

Modeling and simulation have made momentous strides in recent years, and the military, medical science and other professions are on the verge of being able to use computing power to simulate ...

The focus is on simulation (i.e. computer-based) models and aims to develop simulation modelling skills, understanding of the theoretic basis which underpins the simulation methodology, and an ...

Using sophisticated computer models, researchers have digitally reconstructed the Argentinosaurus, enabling them to "watch" the dinosaur take its first steps in over 94 million years.
