Scientists use supercomputers to determine how reliably a popular Earth system model represents precipitation regionally and globally.

A first-of-its-kind computer simulation reveals self-healing cement for geothermal and oil and gas wells performs better than originally thought.

Particles act in a way that justifies extrapolating simulation results to astrophysical scales.

Engineers can model heat distribution in reactor designs with fewer or no approximations.

Researchers use advanced nuclear models to explain 50-year mystery surrounding the process stars use to transform elements.

A new route to make metal beneath a layer of graphite opens potentially new applications in solar cells and quantum computing.

Discovery of new boron-containing phase opens the door for resilient flexible electronics.

Researchers capture detailed images of polymers, using electron-based imaging and computer simulations.

Materials prevent battery failure by inhibiting tree-like growths.

New method could enable studying the fastest interactions of ultrabright X-rays with matter, a vital way of learning about chemical reactions.

The behavior of active magnetic liquids suggests new pathways to transport particles across surfaces and build materials that self-heal.

The radii of three proton-rich calcium isotopes are smaller than previously predicted because models didn’t account for two nuclear interactions.
