A supercomputer simulation reveals that extreme heat, volcanic activity, and harsh conditions could drive humanity extinct.

While quantum computers hold glorious promise in years ahead, conventional computers will remain far superior for the ...

Physicists have long tried to model the chaotic phenomenon of turbulence. Now, a team has pioneered a new quantum ...

Enormous dimensions, complicated military calculations, and thousands of vacuum tubes—this was the early supercomputer.

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory recently used the second-fasted supercomputer in the world to create the ...

"I took on the challenge of developing theoretical models for these sources, rigorously testing the models with the advanced capabilities of modern supercomputers," Dr. Giri says. "This computer ...

However, even with modern supercomputers, a direct and accurate simulation of all but the simplest turbulent flows remains out of reach, and a complete understanding of turbulence has eluded ...
