Model: This is some type of representation (conceptual, mathematical, physical, computational) of a real object. Example: a model of a bouncing ball would produce results that agree with a real ...

The list of informal, weird AI benchmarks keeps growing. Well, simulating a bouncing ball is a classic programming challenge. Accurate simulations incorporate collision detection algorithms, which try ...

Researchers have carried out detailed molecular dynamics simulations to understand the motion of intriguingly ball-shaped C60 bucky balls on metal surfaces. The shape suggests several interesting ...

A physics demonstration shows how bouncing balls can appear to keep moving endlessly, explaining the energy transfer and ...

Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts may be interested in a new Arduino project created by Reddit, maker “tkuhn” who has decided to create a machine with the sole goal of “keeping a ping pong ...

I admit it, I love my job(s). I love doing science, and I love reporting science. In particular, I love it when my expectations are confounded, as they recently were in a paper I read. In this ...

[Brad] just acquired a 32×32 RGB LED matrix and he jumped right into the deep end with his first project. To try out his skills on the device he used an Arduino to drive a slew of pixels with bouncing ...
