Scientists have obtained the first measurement of the merger of two neutron stars and its explosive aftermath. Computer simulations at NERSC were critical for understanding the event, which could provide valuable insights into the origin of universe’s heavy elements. » Read More
Researchers are using NERSC's Cori to build the first-ever end-to-end simulation code to precisely capture the geology and physics of regional earthquakes, and how the shaking impacts buildings. » Read More
New simulations run on Edison are making it easier to more accurately predict plasma behavior in a tokamak reactor. Turns out electron energy transport is key. » Read More
Berkeley Lab researchers recently achieved a critical milestone in preparation for upcoming CMB experiments: scaling their data simulation and reduction framework TOAST to run on all 658,784 Knights Landing processors on NERSC’s Cori. » Read More
Using cryo-electron microscopy and supercomputing resources at NERSC, Berkeley Lab scientists have obtained 3-D models of a human transcription factor at near-atomic resolutions. » Read More
