Pele Combustion Simulation Suite Named R&D 100 Award Winner

A high-resolution 3D computer simulation of a turbulent flame expanding from left to right against a light grey background. The simulation shows a textured, silver-grey plume of fuel igniting into a bright core of blue, red, orange, and yellow colors representing intense heat and complex chemical reactions. In the top left corner is a black and gold badge that reads R&D 100 WINNER.

Software Highlight: AstraAI Masters the Complex Rules of Scientific HPC Software

A flowchart diagram for a system called AstraAI, detailing an automated code generation pipeline that takes a natural language user prompt, extracts intent, uses RAG and AST for context and structure, generates code via an LLM, and outputs AST-safe code edits.

Meet EcoBOT: The Autonomous Lab Standardizing Plant-Microbe Research

A robotic arm in a high-tech laboratory holds up a small, clear plastic container that houses a single green plant seedling. Below the raised container is an out-of-focus grid of many similar clear plastic boxes. The scene is illuminated by bright, cool blue and green lights that reflect off the plastic and metallic machinery, giving it an automated, futuristic appearance.
