World's first 3-D Simulations of Superluminous Supernovae
For the first time ever, an international team of astrophysicists simulated the three-dimensional (3-D) physics of superluminous supernovae — which are about a hundred times more luminous than typical supernovae. They achieved this milestone using Berkeley Lab's CASTRO code and supercomputers at NERSC.

Designing Materials with Tunable Electrical and Magnetic Behaviors
For the first time, the coupling of magnetic spins and atomic dynamics has been fully described in hexagonal iron sulfide (h-FeS), explaining the origin of its fascinating coexistence of metal-insulator, structural, and magnetic transitions.
