He saw the bouncing balls while scrolling on his cellphone at a scientific conference. “They come to life, essentially, and scream,” he said. His delight gave way to curiosity, and he decided ...

The bouncing frequencies obtained by simulation match very nicely with experimental measurements of single-molecule bucky-ball transistors, corroborating the validity of the simulations.

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 ...

We weren't very popular in that dorm. The sort of play that got Dave all fired up is a staple of football, because the bouncing of an oblong ball (the technical term for the shape is "prolate ...
