DOE/Argonne National Laboratory A cross-platform Argonne collaboration is optimizing a tool developed after Hurricane Maria to find essential connections between critical infrastructure that will help owners and operators plan for and mitigate a variety of potential hazards. Major disasters, whether natural or human-caused, most often have a devastating impact on local infrastructure that can result in the interruption of humanitarian efforts and deal an economic blow to communities large and ...

Four decades of advancing computing for discovery The Office of Science has been investing in applied math and computational science for 40 years, leading to world-class infrastructure and research DOE/US Department of Energy A frame from the animation "ESnet: Visualizing the Universe at 100 Gbps," which featured a simulation that tracked the evolution of the universe from its homogenous dawn 13.7 billion years ago to today.

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory Argonne scientists and research facilities have made a difference in the fight against COVID-19 in the year since the first gene sequence for the virus was published. Sunday, Jan. 10, will mark one year since the first gene sequence for the virus that causes COVID-19 was published, igniting the quest for vaccines and treatments. Ten days later, the first case of the virus was confirmed in the United States. The U.S. Department of Energys (DOE) Argonne Nati...

Date Time Insights Through Atomic Simulation A recent special issue in The Journal of Chemical Physics highlights Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s (PNNL) contributions to developing two prominent open-source software packages for computational chemistry used by scientists around the world. PNNL researchers have been instrumental in developing the software packages, called NWChem and CP2K. These programs offer complementary approaches to calculating electronic structure, which is fundam...
