Computing Sciences Supports 2013's Top Discoveries
Research supported by Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences is being honored by end-of-year reviews in two leading magazines: Physics World and WIRED. Results from the IceCube South Pole Neutrino Observatory, supported by NERSC, were notably named to both lists, being honored as the most important discovery by Physics World. Read More »
Supercomputers Capture Turbulence in the Solar Wind
With help from Berkeley Lab's visualization experts and NERSC supercomputers, astrophysicists can now study turbulence in unprecedented detail, and the results may hold clues about some of the processes that lead to destructive space weather events. Read More »
Collaboration Shines in Materials Project Success
Scientific American featured a Computing Sciences-powered project on its December cover as a top world-changing idea of 2013. The Materials Project aims to take the guesswork out of finding the best material for a job—be it a new battery electrode or a lightweight spacecraft body—by making the characteristics of every inorganic compound available to any interested scientist. Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences’ talent and resources combined to help grow this promising project into the world-changing idea it is today. Read More »
