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.

Visualizing the potential impacts of a hurricane on people's homes before it hits can help residents prepare and decide whether to evacuate.
MIT scientists have developed a method that generates satellite imagery from the future to depict how a region would look after a potential flooding event. The method combines a generative artificial intelligence model with a physics-based flood model
