NGF's Key Role in Dayabay Discovery

Discovery of the last neutrino mixing angle was announced a few months after the Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment’s first detectors went online. But that result might not have been available so quickly without the NERSC NGF infrastructure. » Read More

A Massive Stellar Burst, Before the Supernova

An automated supernova hunt is shedding new light on the death sequence of massive stars—specifically, the kind that self-destruct in Type IIn supernova explosions. » Read More

NERSC Supercomputers Help Explain the Last Big Freeze

About 13,000 years ago, a catastrophic injection of freshwater into the North Atlantic “conveyor” triggered a major cold spell. But, how did the freshwater get there? With help from NERSC, two researchers may have finally solved this mystery. » Read More
