Feynman diagrams representing the various contributions to the magnetic moment the muon are depicted.

Exploring the Standard Model to discover the physics beyond

Professor Leonardo Giusti of the University of Milano - Bicocca has been using supercomputers to explore the Standard Model and, in particular, developing a new...
Dynein structure and mechanochemical cycle. A) Dynein pulling cargo via stepping along the MT. B) Structure and domain separation of each DHC. C) The mechanochemical cycle of the DHC. Linker undergoes ATP dependent conformational changes and generates force and motility, synchronized with MT binding/unbinding cycles.

Understanding the biomolecular nanomachines in our cells

Dr Mert Gur of Istanbul Technical University is studying the tiny cellular engines known as dyneins, motor proteins that convert chemical energy to drive movement...
Turbulent coherent structures visualised using iso-surfaces of swirling strength and coloured with instantaneous streamwise vorticity, ω_x. The instantaneous streamwise velocity on a y-z slice is also presented to show the transport effect of the secondary vortices. (The computational domain is duplicated in periodic conditions for a better visualisation)

Bio-inspired surfaces for reducing flow separation

Inspired by micro-scale surface patterns found on bird feathers and shark skin, a research team from the STFC Daresbury Laboratory and the University of Manchester...
2D slice through a simulated radio intensity map of the first billion years of our Universe. The vertical axis corresponds to the sky plane (spanning an angular size of roughly 15 Moon diameters), while the horizontal axis corresponds to lookback time (further towards the right corresponds to earlier times/further distances). Radiation from the first galaxies in our Universe imprints the large-scale patterns seen in this map. If we can “decipher” these complex patterns, we can learn the unknown properties of the unseen first galaxies.

The cosmic dawn

With the development of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope, scientists are about to receive huge amounts of data that will shed light on the...
Perovskite solar cells

Understanding and improving the tolerance of perovskites

In the quest for future high-efficient electronic devices, perovskites have emerged as the most promising material candidates by far. The main reason for this is...
Snapshots from the classical molecular dynamics simulation show several lead ions bound to hemicellulose along the unbinding path — an energetically strongly unfavourable process.

Exploring a new measure against heavy metal pollution: Simulations show how bio-waste materials can capture heavy metals in water

Organic waste such as fruit peels or spent coffee grounds can capture toxic heavy metal pollutants in water — a capability which could help to...
Wake flow of a hydrokinetic turbine with helical vortices arising from the tips of the rotating turbine blades

Energy from the Oceans: simulations help to design efficient tidal turbine farms

Ocean tides deliver a reliable source of renewable energy that can be harvested with hydrokinetic turbine farms. It is, however, not fully clear yet how...

Scientists explore lipid metabolism with simulations and experiments

Proper regulation of lipid metabolism and storage is critical for our health. A central role in this is played by so-called lipid droplets, which are...

SHAPE: Using HPC will improve SME’s simulations for engines cooling

The 12th PRACE SHAPE Call was open from 1 October 2020 to 1 December 2020 and received sixteen proposals from twelve different countries across Europe....
