A developer has built a working 3D model of the Enigma machine, available at enigma.design. Users can explore and operate the famous German encryption device in their browser, seeing its rotors and mechanisms in action. On Hacker News the project drew quick attention, with commenters discussing the machine's wartime history, its cryptographic mechanics, and the technical craft involved in simulating it faithfully.
- 2How Los Alamos used ENIAC for Monte Carlo bomb simulations●Los Alamos bets on ENIAC: Nuclear Monte Carlo simulations, 1947–1948 (2014) [pdf]
A 2014 paper recounts how Los Alamos scientists turned ENIAC, one of the first electronic computers, to Monte Carlo simulations of nuclear weapons between 1947 and 1948. The work helped establish probabilistic computer modelling as a core method in physics and engineering. Readers are sharing the paper as a classic piece of early computing history.
- 3Zenithon AI Aims to Simulate Extreme Physics a Million Times Faster●A Million Times Faster: Zenithon AI's Quest to Simulate Extreme Physics
Zenithon AI is presenting itself as a startup working on simulating extreme physics up to a million times faster than existing methods. The company appears in startup database listings, but little verified detail is available about its technology, funding, or team. The claim of such a large speed increase in physics simulation would, if proven, be significant for engineering and scientific research.
