How can virtual models accelerate scientific discovery and revolutionize industry? 'Digital twins' are virtual replicas of real-world systems, such as bridges, jet engines and even human hearts. By integrating real-time data from sensors with mathematical models, digital twins mirror the behavior and simulate the performance of their real-world counterparts. This allows users to monitor conditions, test scenarios, predict outcomes and optimize operations without directly interfering with the p…
