New Alloy Won't Crack at Extreme Temperatures
With the help of NERSC systems, researchers have uncovered a metal alloy that won’t crack at extreme temperatures due to kinking, or bending, of the crystals in the alloy at the atomic level. The alloy’s resilience to bending and fracture could open the door for next-generation engines that can operate at higher efficiencies. Read More »
DIII-D National Fusion Facility, NERSC, AMCR, and ESnet Collaboration Speeds Nuclear Fusion Research
High performance computing at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet)'s high-speed data network, and DIII-D's rich diagnostic suite combine to enable near-real-time analysis of massive quantities of data during experiments, allowing tailoring of the experimental process — and accelerating the pace of experimental science.
