ALT Large circle with network of smaller circles colored white, gold and blue linked by lines. Caption: A schematic of a quantum circuit used to study quantum gravity. A one-dimensional magnet enters the circuit at the circle’s circumference and a model of gravity is produced at the black dots. The blue, white, and yellow circles represent the quantum gates making up the circuit. (Image: Rahul Sahay, Mikhail D. Lukin, Jordan Cotler, arXiv:2401.13595.)
Cosmic rays provide ways to study how galaxies evolved. Using #exascale computing and an #INCITE award researchers modeled large- and small-scale behavior and developed a new model that accounts for unexplained turbulence. ascr-discovery.org/2025/02/u…@OLCFGOV@argonne_lcf#HPC

Attention potential #DOECSGF applicants: Yesterday's webinar recording is now available at bit.ly/41iri91. Topics include program benefits, applicant eligibility, and Science/Engineering vs. Math/Computer Science Track options; plus insight into application components.
The human brain's trillions of connections remain largely uncharted. But an @argonne-@Harvard team is using advanced electron microscopy and #ALCF's hardware and machine learning tools to map neurons' links to better understand how they interact ascr-discovery.org/2024/12/c…#HPC
ALT Brightly colored oblong shapes connected by a complex, intertwined and densely packed network of fibers. Caption: A selected subset of neurons from electron-microscopic brain-tissue images reconstructed on Aurora. The picture was generated using a technique akin to AI imaging, called a convolutional neural network.

During her @CUBoulder Ph.D., Rachel Robey used her computational skills to tame scale-based challenges in modeling wind-energy generation and climate modeling. Read more about her @doecsgf-supported #HPC research: deixismagazine.org/2024/10/s…
Luis Rangel DaCosta of @UCBerkeley used machine learning to speed up the analysis of high-resolution molecular images. The work led to Construction Zone, a software package that is "like computer-aided design, but for atoms." deixismagazine.org/2024/09/e…#HPC@doecsgf
ALT Example structures generated in Construction Zone, including (left) a multigrain core-shell oxide nanoparticle with strain-mediated grain alignment, (center) a heavily-faceted gold nanoparticle on a carbon substrate decorated with molecule ligands and (rights) a series of gold nano-islands on a bilayer of molybdenum disulfide, an inorganic molybdenum-sulfur compound.
