Only in this way science can identify \u2018laws\u2019, which lead to new insights and new technologies. However, several recent studies have pointed out that such reproducibility does not always come spontaneously. Even predictions by computer codes require caution, since the way in which theoretical models are implemented may affect simulation results.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2016\/04\/160425095355.htm\">https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2016\/04\/160425095355.htm<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Change is good; looks like we\u2019re about to re-review some existing simulation codes around Quantum Mechanic Simulation.
