- Potential Beginning of Life Simulated in Lab. Scientists at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) have substantiated their theory that life could have begun deep in the Earth's crust. In their experiments, structures that were inanimate developed survival strategies within a short time. https://www.uni-due.de/cenide/news_one_en.php/1394 10 comments science

- Physicists leverage supercomputers to more precisely measure the lifetime of neutrons. The team simulated a neutron transitioning to a proton inside a tiny section of a simulated universe, in order to predict what happens in nature. They note that more computing power is needed to improve precision. http://newscenter.lbl.gov/2018/05/30/supercomputer-simulations-new-window-lifetime-death-neutron/ 3 comments science

- We're not living in a simulation, theoretical physicists confirm. Calculations show that just storing information about a couple of hundred electrons would require a computer memory that would physically require more atoms than exist in the universe. https://cosmosmagazine.com/physics/physicists-find-we-re-not-living-in-a-computer-simulation 45 comments science
