The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory is building one of the nation’s first exascale systems, Aurora. To prepare codes for the architecture and scale of the new supercomputer, 15 research teams are taking part in the Aurora Early Science Program (ESP) through the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), a DOE Office of […]

A new approach to developing semiconductor materials at tiny scales could help boost applications that rely on converting light to energy. A Los Alamos-led research team incorporated magnetic dopants into specially engineered colloidal quantum dots — nanoscale-size semiconductor crystals — and was able to achieve effects that may power solar cell technology, photo detectors and […]

Over the past decade, teams of engineers, chemists and biologists have analyzed the physical and chemical properties of cicada wings, hoping to unlock the secret of their ability to kill microbes on contact. If this function of nature can be replicated by science, it may lead to products with inherently antibacterial surfaces that are more […]

The possibilities of high-performance computing are boundless. Every day new and exciting innovations and discoveries are announced that have utilized the power of cyberinfrastructure, and such advancements that benefit all of society should also include all of society in their process. That’s why the Midwest Big Data Innovation Hub (MBDH) has been working to amplify and […]

SEEQC announced with HQS Quantum Simulations that it has successfully run an algorithm on its SEEQC System Red, the company’s full-stack quantum computing system, that shows great potential to achieve commercially useful quantum advantage in the near term. SEEQCs high quality system characterization has allowed HQS Quantum Simulations to test, for the first time on […]

The Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre has contributed to revealing the mysteries of the Universe: finding slowly spinning neutron stars, weighing galaxies to identify dark matter, finding gravitational waves, even hunting for signs of interstellar civilizations. The launch of a new biography of Pawsey, written by Miller Goss, Claire Hooker and Ron Ekers, is a good […]

Researchers at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center-Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) have shed new light on the increasing global occurrence of hot and dry extreme weather events. A recent study led by BSC warns of a significant rise in the risk of these extremes over the upcoming decades in many parts of the world. Source: Barcelona […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) is proliferating into every corner of our lives. The demand for products and services powered by AI algorithms has skyrocketed alongside the popularity of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, and image generation models like Stable Diffusion. With this increase in popularity, however, comes an increase in scrutiny over the computational and […]

Wildfires have shaped the environment for millennia, but they are increasing in frequency, range and intensity in response to a hotter climate. The phenomenon is being incorporated into high-resolution simulations of the Earth’s climate by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, with a mission to better understand and predict environmental change. […]

Altair, a global leader in computational science and artificial intelligence (AI), released results from a global survey that reveals the widespread use of digital twin technology in the banking and financial industries. The post Altair Survey Reveals Growing Impact of Digital Twin Tech in Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance Industries appeared first on HPCwire.
