Superfacility principles come into play as researchers use Stanford's Linac Coherent Light Source to pioneer a new form of X-ray crystallography. Experimental data was transferred automatically via ESnet to supercomputers at NERSC and back, yielding initial analysis in under ten minutes—a speed record for this type of experiment.

Each region is labeled by a unique color. The colors of Alzheimer’s abnormal proteins: AT8, AT100 and MC1 quantitative heatmap registered to blockface (first column), MRI (second column) of patient “Case 2.” The third column depicts the respective 3D renderings of each tau map. AT8 detected higher amounts of tau than AT100 and MC1.

Improved polymer electrolytes could improve battery performance in electric cars. Bert de Jong Figure 1. The multiscale computational challenge of fault-to-structure simulations starting from the earthquake source, continuing through regional-scale wave propagation in a heterogeneous earth at a scale of hundreds of kilometers (“Regional geophysics domain”) and ending at local interaction between complex incident seismic waves with a soil-structure system at a scale of 30–50 m (“Local engineering system domain”).
