This may come as a shock, if you're moving fast enough. The shock being shock waves. Far out in the cosmos, a collapsing star generates shock waves from particles racing near the speed of light as the star goes supernova.

Smaller electronic components offer us more power in our pockets. But thinner and thinner components pose engineering problems.

The move toward cleaner, cheaper energy would be much easier if we had more powerful, safer battery technologies.

XSEDE-allocated resources power population genomics study Comet, Jetstream, Bridges run millions of genomic simulations assisted by the Open Science Grid

Thanks in part to simulations carried out on resources allocated through XSEDE, a massive research collaboration played a vital role in laying the groundwork in the imaging of the M87 black hole. Through hydrodynamical simulations run on Stampede2 at the Texas Advanced Computing Center, a research team led by Dr. Charles Gammie at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign was able to provide important analysis to the imaging process, building theoretical models for researchers to use as...

Supercomputers Help Supercharge Protein Assembly. Using supercomputers, scientists are just starting to design proteins that self-assemble to combine and resemble life-giving molecules like hemoglobin. Through computation time awarded by XSEDE, a science team has designed proteins that self-assemble to combine and resemble life-giving molecules like hemoglobin.

XSEDE Supercomputers Help UCLA-Led Team Identify Genes Associated with Surviving Climate Change. A UCLA-led team has found they can predict whether birds are vulnerable to climate change by comparing their genes to their changing environments. Using XSEDE supercomputers, Rachael Bay and her colleagues working with the Bird Genoscape Project found they could identify genes in the yellow warbler and the willow flycatcher that associate with recent declines in local populations of each bird....

Why are some animals committed to their mates and others are not?

A number of members of the community have inquired as to the potential impact of the government shutdown on XSEDE and the services provided by our Service Provider partners.
