Novel research developments as a result of multi-institution collaboration at the Quantum Systems Accelerator
Measuring computer chips to identify defects during manufacturing is crucial to improve production yield. Scientists from Delft and Utrecht investigated a novel imaging technique using EUV light—a high-energy short-wavelength radiation—to examine the 3D nanoscale structures on the chips. This technique eliminates the need to use any imaging system containing expensive EUV reflective mirrors in the measurement tool. Instead, images are reconstructed computationally from acquired diffraction data, resulting in a significant cost reduction.
$4.9 million from the NSF has funded an upgrade to PSC’s flagship Bridges-2 supercomputer. The grant has allowed the center to add late-model powerful NVIDIA H100 GPUs to the system, further enhancing its ability to support research in and requiring artificial intelligence, particularly in the context of massive data and high-performance computing.
Four of the nation’s top scientists have each been awarded $1 million in direct funding via the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science Distinguished Scientist Fellows program.
Extreme-scale science recognizes that disruptive technology changes are occurring across science applications, algorithms, computer architectures, and ecosystems. Emerging trends in this technology span key areas including high-end computing, massive datasets, visualization, and artificial intelligence on increasingly heterogeneous computer architectures.
A third-generation Anton supercomputer, developed by D. E. Shaw Research, will soon arrive at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center. A $3.15-million, five-year award from the National Institutes of Health will fund the system's operations, making it available without cost for non-commercial use by biomedical researchers at U.S. universities and other nonprofit institutions.
Argonne team developed a new microscopy technique that uses electrical pulses to track the nanosecond dynamics within a material that is known to form charge density waves. Controlling these waves may lead to faster and more energy-efficient electronics.
The world’s fastest supercomputer helped researchers simulate synthesizing a material harder and tougher than a diamond — or any other substance on Earth.The study used Frontier, the HPE Cray EX supercomputing system at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, to predict the likeliest strategy to synthesize such a material, thought to exist only within the interiors of giant exoplanets, or planets beyond our solar system – at least so far.
An automated assessment technique that uses artificial intelligence could revolutionize the management of Parkinson's disease
Researchers will explore climate, pathogens and energy-efficient microelectronics using 3 million node hours on the nation’s supercomputers.
A combination of supercomputing and traditional techniques has allowed Jefferson Lab theorists to better describe the unstable sigma meson particle, contributing to our comprehension of the strong interaction.
Researchers performed the first quantum communication tests in Lower Saxony over a 79km long optical fiber connection from Hannover to Braunschweig. Novel nanomaterials were used to generate the light transmitted over the "Niedersachsen Quantum Link", marking a leap forward to a semiconductor enabled quantum internet.
A new study conducted on the Frontier supercomputer gave researchers new clues to improving fusion confinement. This research, in collaboration with General Atomics and UC San Diego, uncovered that the interaction between ions and electrons near the tokamak's edge can unexpectedly increase turbulence, challenging previous assumptions about how to optimize plasma confinement for efficient nuclear fusion.
Argonne and University Mohammed VI Polytechnic signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a collaboration that will support energy storage, renewable energy, high-performance computing and clean water innovation.
Aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, Argonne’s annual “Intro to AI-Driven Science on Supercomputers” training series is helping to grow a new generation of AI-ready researchers.
Researchers from DOE and NASA joined forces to use Argonne’s Theta supercomputer to produce 4 million simulated images that are being used to prepare for future observations from the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
Researchers have demonstrated a new method that could enable the large-scale manufacturing of optical qubits. The work is a major advancement that could bring us closer to a scalable quantum computer.
