The Difference a Day (or Night) Makes
In a study, PNNL scientists Young-Mo Kim, Jim Fredrickson, and Tom Metz demonstrated the effect that sunlight, or the absence of it, has over a 24-hour period on the production of chemicals used as metabolites in the microbial mats of Mushroom Springs in Yellowstone National Park.

Nanoelectronics Researchers Employ Titan for an Electrifying Simulation Speedup
Researchers at ETH Zurich are using America’s fastest supercomputer to make huge gains in understanding the smallest electronic devices. The team, led by Mathieu Luisier, focuses on further developing the front line of electronics research—simulating and better understanding nanoscale components such as transistors or battery electrodes whose active regions can be on the order of 1 billionth of a meter, or about as long as your fingernails grow in one second.
