step forward in the understanding of processes of collision at such scales. It plays an essential part in estimating the energy of the impact which should be necessary, depending on its size, to ...

Earth could have lost anywhere between ten and 60 per cent of its atmosphere in the collision that is thought to have formed the Moon. New research led by Durham University, UK, shows how the extent ...

Most theories claim the Moon formed out of the debris of a collision between the Earth and an object about the size of Mars, called Theia, coalescing in orbit over months or years. A new simulation ...

At the heart of the asteroid belt, a celestial object named Psyche deeply intrigues the scientific community. With its diameter of 226 kilometers (about 140 miles), its improbable metallic ...

It’s difficult to predict with certainty what will happen when giant stars collide, but new, first-of-their-kind hydrodynamic simulations by the DEMOBLACK team at the University of Padova in Italy ...

One of the challenges for the models attempting to unravel the processes that shaped Mercury, the smallest planet in the Solar System, is finding a plausible scenario capable of explaining a unique ...

Numerical simulations have become integral to modern ship structural analysis and collision dynamics, providing invaluable insights into the complex interplay between structural integrity, material ...
