Computer Modeling
Researchers at the Perimeter Institute have created a new computational tool to model self-interacting dark matter, addressing a gap in previous simulations. This innovation allows for faster and more accurate studies of how such dark matter influences galaxy formation. The work, published in Physical Review Letters, could reveal insights into cosmic structures and black hole origins.

A team led by Keiya Hirashima has created the first simulation of the Milky Way tracking over 100 billion individual stars across 10,000 years. By combining artificial intelligence with advanced numerical techniques, the model runs hundreds of times faster than previous methods. The breakthrough was presented at the SC '25 supercomputing conference.
