Advisors and websites often show clients the results of large numbers of Monte Carlo simulations. It is hoped that clients will be calmed by pursuing avenues predicted to have a 90% chance of success.

You can’t predict the future, of course, but that doesn’t stop some financial professionals from trying. Of the many methods devised to anticipate different possible futures in financial planning, ...

With highly specialized instruments, we can see materials on the nanoscale – but we can’t see what many of them do. That limits researchers’ ability to develop new therapeutics and new technologies ...

I am looking to estimate the potential for failure in a complex system using Monte Carlo simulation. I am quite familiar with using MC for engineering simulations, but have never approached the ...

A new method is using Monte Carlo simulations to extend the capabilities of transmission electron microscopy and answer fundamental questions in polymer science. With highly specialized instruments, ...
