Environmental scientist Marianne Cowherd grew up in Michigan and loved snow. “My favorite thing was having school cancelled and going sledding,” she says. “But I never thought of snow as a water ...

ORNL’s Titan supercomputer is helping Brookhaven physicists understand the matter that formed microseconds after the Big Bang. At the dawn of the universe – just after the Big Bang – all matter was in ...

Argonne’s Joe Insley combines art and computer science to build intricate images and animations from supercomputer simulations. This video includes a collage of images and a supernova simulation ...

A Georgia Tech fellow models renewable energy and other problems with ever-changing unknowns. Real-world modeling problems are rife with uncertainty and complicated interactions. To maximize profits, ...

A Brookhaven National Laboratory computer scientist is building software to help researchers interact with their data in new ways. Scientific imaging data sets are ballooning in size and complexity.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory models the blood-brain barrier to find ways for drugs to reach their target. Stroke, Alzheimer’s disease and many other medical conditions that attack the brain ...

High-performance computing (HPC) is only as valuable as the science it produces. To that end, a National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) project at Lawrence Berkeley National ...

The circulatory simulations a Computational Science Graduate Fellowship alumna now at Duke University could help physicians choose the best treatments before operating. When a patient shows signs that ...

The next supercomputer frontier presents a journey into the unknown unlike any other, Tzanio Kolev says. Exascale computers, the first of which are expected to begin operation in 2021, will perform a ...

A Livermore team takes a stab, atom-by-atom, at an 80-year-old controversy over a metal-shaping property called crystal plasticity. A medieval blacksmith making a sword knew that pounding on iron ...

A Montana State fellow charts a path from physics and modeling to a form of pure math called category theory. Alex Ballow works as a translator, not of human tongues but of the languages of math and ...

The unusual architecture in Los Alamos National Laboratory's newest supercomputer is a step toward the exascale – systems around a hundred times more powerful than today's best machines. Trinity, Los ...
