New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may ...

Researchers combined artificial intelligence (AI) with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually, across 10,000 years of evolution.

Clues about how galaxies like our Milky Way form and evolve and why their stars show surprising chemical patterns have been ...

A new breakthrough AI-assisted simulation of the Milky Way is giving scientists their most detailed look yet at how our galaxy evolves. Tracking more than 100 billion individual stars across 10,000 ...

Researchers combined deep learning with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually. Researchers led by Keiya Hirashima at the RIKEN ...
