  • Big Agriculture part of the climate change solution August 19, 2015 - 5:45am
    Modern farming practices are often blamed for the rise in greenhouse gas emissions. A new big data analysis indicates change in land use might be as much to blame. With an eye to best practices, researchers see solutions to mitigate these contributors...
  • XSEDE humanities gateways August 5, 2015 - 6:38am
    Humanities gateways are the newest arrow in the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE) quiver. With friendly interfaces, these gateways make it easy for humanities researchers to stay on target and create the scholarship of the...
  • Supercomputers listen for extraterrestrial life July 29, 2015 - 8:27am
    The search for intelligent life in the universe continues. Astronomers are using DiRAC and Piz Daint supercomputers to learn how stellar winds change radio signals emitted from exoplanets so radio telescopes know how to listen.
  • Fermilab’s flagship accelerator sets world record July 22, 2015 - 5:59am
    When hunting neutrinos, a more powerful particle beam increases the chance of seeing neutrinos interact. Fermilab scientists recently set a new world record for high-energy neutrino experiments with a sustained 521-kilowatt beam, and will soon achieve...
  • Eddies pull carbon emissions into deep ocean, new model simulates July 8, 2015 - 5:38am
    Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory are modeling huge ocean eddies to track their ability to move particles – including carbon dioxide – into the deep. This work will help prioritize a global response to climate change.
  • Supercomputers expose the telltale signs of human traffickers January 28, 2015 - 7:16am
    Criminals use technology to exploit their victims, but law enforcement lacks the time and expertise to develop the technology to respond. A student-led project recently won a $3.6 million DARPA grant to change that dynamic by devising cyber tools that...
