Curated Papers

Awesome Neural Physics.

Derived from the Awesome Neural Physics list, this interactive index explores the seamless fusion of neural models and physics simulation. We track the deep convergence of these fields: from injecting neural capabilities into classical solvers, to embedding physical simulators directly within neural architectures.

At its core, we focus on how neural models internalize physical laws—a crucial step toward building robust World Models. By curating cutting-edge research across fluids, cloth, and soft/rigid bodies, we hope this resource empowers your next breakthrough.
