Happy Birthday, Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin
Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was an English scientist whose research greatly advanced the field of X-ray crystallography. Learn more about the life and work of this Nobel Prize-winning scientist.
Investigating Turing’s Theory of Morphogenesis
Ever wonder how a tiger gets its stripes? Alan Turing’s theory of morphogenesis explains how patterns, such as stripes, develop naturally from initially homogeneous states.
Investigating Damage to Cultural Heritage Sites with Simulation
To find out why paintings in Saint Catherine’s Chapel in the Netherlands are deteriorating, researchers from the Eindhoven University of Technology combined physical measurements and simulation.
Simulation Paves the Way for More Efficient OLED Devices
To study light loss in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), researchers from Konica Minolta Laboratory turned to COMSOL Multiphysics®. Get the full story.
Making a Recipe for the Perfect Soft-Boiled Egg with Simulation
In a physics course at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e), students investigate the science behind cooking the perfect soft-boiled egg using simulation and real-world experimentation.
Creating an App to Prevent Buckling in a Truss Tower Design
A simulation app can be used to calculate the critical compressive load for different truss tower configurations. We demonstrate such an app, which can be used as inspiration for your own, here.
Newtecnic Creates Better Building Façades with Simulation
Engineers at Newtecnic use COMSOL Multiphysics® to balance elements such as stability, efficiency, and comfort when creating building façades that are both eye-catching and functional.
Efficiently Study Noise Distribution in a House with an App
Simulation apps can be used by those with little knowledge of simulation to run their own acoustics analyses. Learn about one example, the One-Family House Acoustics Analyzer, here.
