Record-breaking run on frontier sets new bar for simulating the universe in the exascale era
Wednesday, 27 November 2024 06:51
The universe just got a whole lot bigger - or at least in the world of computer simulations, that is.
In early November, researchers at the Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory used the fastest supercomputer on the planet to run the largest astrophysical simulation of the universe ever conducted.
The achievement was made using the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge Nat XRISM mission looks deeply into 'hidden' stellar system

The Japan-led XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) observatory has captured the most detailed portrait yet of gases flowing within Cygnus X-3, one of the most studied sources in the X-ray sky.
Cygnus X-3 is a binary that pairs a rare type of high-mass star with a compact companion - likely a black hole.
"The nature of the massive star is one factor that makes Cygnus X-3 so HESS Observatory identifies highest-energy cosmic-ray electrons and positrons yet observed

Scientists from CNRS, a German university consortium, and the Max-Planck-Institut fur Kernphysik working at the H.E.S.S. Observatory in Namibia have detected cosmic-ray electrons and positrons with the highest energies ever recorded, exceeding 40 TeV. This significant discovery reveals new insights into cosmic processes that produce immense energy, although their origins remain unclear.

Eclipse-maker: How Proba-3 subtracts the Sun
Tuesday, 26 November 2024 14:14
Hidden in plain sight within the Sun’s glare is the ultra-hot yet ghostly faint solar corona, source of the solar wind and solar storms. The only way to see this key element of the Solar System is either through the remarkable cosmic coincidence that gives rise to total solar eclipses – the fact that the Sun is not only 400 times bigger than our Moon but also about 400 times further away, allowing it to cover the solar disc entirely – or else through artificial Sun-obscuring telescopes.
