Using leading-edge computer systems and participating in computing standardization groups, Brookhaven will enhance its ability to support data-driven scientific discoveries. Read More
11.17.16User Facility
Oak Ridge National Laboratory leveraged powerful supercomputing to support research led by University of Oklahoma scientists to identify chemicals that seek out and disrupt bacterial proteins called efflux pumps, known to be a major cause of antibiotic resistance. Read More

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, called DESI, has an ambitious goal: to scan more than 35 million galaxies in the night sky to track the expansion of our universe and the growth of its large-scale structure over the last 10 billion years. Using DESI — a project led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory — scientists hope to create a 3-D map of a third of the night sky that is more accurate and precise than any other. Read More

Cori, the Cray XC40 system that is the latest addition to the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center’s (NERSC) supercomputing repertoire, is now fully installed and ready to support scientific simulations and data-intensive workflows. Read More
11.16.16From the Labs
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Exascale Computing Project (ECP) just awarded $34 million in first-year funding to 35 software development proposals and $12 million to four co-design center proposals. Read More
11.16.16User Facility
Unexpected results from a neutron scattering experiment at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory could open a new pathway for the synthesis of novel materials and also help explain the formation of complex organic structures observed in interstellar space. Read More
11.16.16From the Labs
Scientists from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a way to use optical microscopy to map thin-film solar cells in 3-D as they absorb photons. Read More
11.15.16User Facility
A group of Brookhaven chemists have developed a catalyst for converting methane, the main component of abundant natural gas, directly to methanol at fairly low temperatures. Read More
