UrduSuperconductors – found in MRI machines, nuclear fusion reactors and magnetic-levitation trains – work by conducting electricity with no resistance at temperatures near absolute zero, or -459.67F. The search for a conventional superconductor that can function at room temperature has been ongoing for roughly a century, but research has sped up dramatically in the last decade because of new advances in machine learning (ML) using supercomputers such as Expanse at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego.

Supercomputer Simulations Show Ways to Clean Up, Speed Up Gas Turbines
Planes, trains and cruise ships travel by the power of gas turbines. Simulations of combustion engines that convert liquid fuel to mechanical energy offer new ways to develop more efficient and cleaner gas turbine combustion systems.
Scientists Use SDSC’s Expanse to Advance Green Chemistry
Computational chemists reduce or eliminate hazardous materials by running simulations to develop fast, accurate models. MIT researchers use SDSC’s supercomputer to explore the luminescent properties of iridium-centered phosphors.
Researchers Use Supercomputers to Better Understand the Sun’s Corona
As worldwide mandates prevented gatherings over the holiday season, crowds in Chile and Argentina donned masks and eye shields to take in some outdoor magic: a two-minute solar eclipse on December 14. A week before however, everyone had a chance to see what the eclipse might look like thanks to simulations generated on the recently launched ‘Expanse’ supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego.
