Cover image: The illustration shows multiple layers of lithium ions intercalated into two atom-thin sheets of graphene.

Simulations help to tailor the properties of 2D materials

Be it for more efficient energy harvesting and storage or for better superconductors — Arkady Krasheninnikov’s simulations carried out with the help of PRACE resources,...
Simulated air vorteces around an aricraft wing section

Future aircraft wings will be able to adapt their shape mid-flight

A team of scientists developed and optimised a concept for wing components that, thanks to electrically driven actuators, are able to adapt their shape as...

Automating aircraft design and optimisation

Optimising the shape of aircraft to improve fuel efficiency and reduce the noise they make is a task normally carried out by highly-skilled professionals using...

Keep on truckin’: Fluid dynamics for the transport sector

CO2 emissions from the transport sector are increasing, and at this point there are few signs of this trend reversing. Torbjörn Larsson of Creo Dynamics...

Optimising laser-powered particle acceleration

Powering particle accelerators with lasers has the potential to turn what is at present a hugely expensive but vital scientific tool into something far more...
Illustration of Superradiance; a helical light beam

Revolution in physics: scientists have identified a form of generalised superradiation

In a way, superradiance is the ne plus ultra of radiation. Its powerful light is critical for many experiments in a broad range of scientific...

HPC software developments help to break cryptography records

Data sent over the internet relies on public key cryptographical systems to remain secure. Paul Zimmermann of INRIA has been leading a project that has...
HPC vs Virus image

Modern tactics against an ancient enemy

The world’s battle against the invisible enemy known as the coronavirus continues on all fronts with HPC making a significant contribution. PRACE has now awarded...
A comparison of climate simulations of Europe illustrates the advantage of high-resolution: The high-resolution simulation on the right displays the cloudiness, the contours of the rain cells and the precipitation (in mm/h, colour bar on the right) at a grid size of 2.2 km. It is much more realistic than the low-resolution model on the left with a grid size of 12 km. The image shows 1-hour of a simulation of 10 years performed with the COSMO program on the “Piz Daint” supercomputer at CSCS, Switzerland. Image author: David Leutwyler, ETH Zurich, project crCLIM.

Climate simulations reach the next level of precision

Despite decades of research, current climate models still contain a substantial degree of uncertainty that hampers accurate projections of climate change effects such as sea...

The simulation of three adjacent components of the DGEN380 engine: the fan, the high-pressure compressor and the combustion chamber.

Scientists provide the first full view into an aircraft engine

Fluid dynamics simulations are a valuable tool for improving the design of aircraft engines and rendering them more efficient. Now, a team of researchers has...
