===In scientific applications===

Physical computing can also describe the fabrication and use of custom sensors or collectors for scientific experiments, though the term is rarely used to describe them as such. An example of physical computing modeling is the ''[[Illustris project]]'', which attempts to precisely simulate the [[Chronology of the universe|evolution of the universe]] from the [[Big Bang]] to the present day, [[Age of the universe|13.8 billion years]] later.<ref name="IP-20140614">{{cite web |author=Staff |title=The Illustris Simulation - Towards a predictive theory of galaxy formation. |url=http://www.illustris-project.org/ |date=14 June 2014 |work=[http://www.illustris-project.org Illustris Project] |accessdate=16 July 2014 }}</ref><ref name="ARX-20140514">{{cite arXiv |authorauthor1=Vogelsberger, Mark; |author2=Genel, Shy; |author3=Springel, Volker; |author4=Torrey, Paul; |author5=Sijacki, Debora; |author6=Xu, Dandan; |author7=Snyder, Greg; |author8=Nelson, Dylan; |author9=Hernquist, Lars |title=Introducing the Illustris Project: Simulating the coevolution of dark and visible matter in the Universe |date=14 May 2014 |arxiv=1405.2921 |}}</ref>
