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.

Improved polymer electrolytes could improve battery performance in electric cars. 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”).
