Virtual Model Predicts Body Temperature for Hot and Cold States, May Aid Injury Prevention
Article title: A 3D virtual human model for simulating heat and cold stress Authors: Tushar Gulati, Rajeev Hatwar, Ginu Unnikrishnan, Jose E. Rubio, Jaques Reifman From the authors: “Our 3D thermoregulatory virtual human model consistently predicted the body’s thermal state…
3-D printed replicas reveal swimming capabilities of ancient cephalopods
Researchers took 3-D printed reconstructions of fossil cephalopods to actual water tanks (including a swimming pool) to see how their shell structure may have been tied to their movement and lifestyle.
HPC Explorations of Supernova Explosions Help Physicists Reach New Milestones
Physicists have been studying the question of how supernova explosions occur for more than 60 years. Thanks to the increasing power of supercomputing resources such as those at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, they’re moving ever closer to an answer.
Binghamton University professor elected senior member of National Academy of Inventors
The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) recently named 61 academic inventors to the 2021 class of senior members. Among them is Professor Lijun Yin from Binghamton University’s Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science.
Geoscientists Create Deeper Look at Processes Below Earth’s Surface with 3D Images
Geoscientists at The University of Texas at Dallas recently used supercomputers to analyze massive amounts of earthquake data to generate high-resolution, 3D images of the dynamic geological processes taking place far below the Earth’s surface.
