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.
Computer-generated Models Mimic Human Recognition at Supersonic Speed
Human cells are often a mixture of both abnormal and normal DNA – a mosaic, so to speak, and like the art form, this complex montage is difficult to understand. Neuroscience researchers are training computers to unveil new methods for DNA mosaic recognition.
Supercomputer Models Describe Chloride’s Role in Corrosion
While researchers have been studying chloride’s corrosive effects on various materials for decades, high-performance computers were recently used to create detailed simulations to provide new insight on how chloride leads to corrosion.
Supercomputer Simulations Reveal Scope of Lake Erie Plastic Waste Pollution
The transport of nine types of plastics floating in Lake Erie was modeled in two studies that used the Comet supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) to compare a two-dimensional model with a new Great Lakes microplastic dataset and then develop the first ever three-dimensional mass estimate for plastic in Lake Erie.
