Cryo-EM’s Renaissance
In a pair of breakthrough Nature papers published last month, researchers in Eva Nogales’ Lab at UC Berkeley mapped two important protein functions in unprecedented detail. And they used supercomputers at NERSC to process and analyze the data. Read More »
New Material Has Potential for Lower Cost, Cleaner Nuclear Fuel Recycling
Researchers are investigating a new material that screens out and captures for reuse xenon and krypton gases that are released during nuclear fuel recycling. The material has the potential to save energy and make reprocessing cleaner and less expensive. Read More »
New Mathematics Accurately Captures Liquids and Surfaces Moving in Synergy
Berkeley Lab researchers in the Computing Sciences Division have developed a new mathematical framework that allows researchers to capture fluid dynamics at unprecedented detail. The work could be used in a range of applications, like optimizing the shape of a propeller blade and the ejection of ink droplets in printers. Read More »
Materials Project Releases Massive Trove of Battery and Molecule Data
The Materials Project, a Google-like database of material properties aimed at accelerating innovation, has released yet another trove of data to the public that will help researchers working on batteries. Read More »
Students from Oakland’s Life Academy Get a Glimpse of Scientific Computing
Ten students and two teachers from Oakland’s Life Academy spent the morning of Friday, June 3, learning about what supercomputers are used for, what it takes to run a center like NERSC and the importance of high-speed networking. They also received a hands-on lesson in Arduino, an open source hardware and software program for controlling electronic devices. The visit was arranged by Tokiwa Smith of BLEND, the Berkeley Lab Exploration of New Discoveries program managed by Berkeley Lab’s… Read More »
