Science Features

Studies with Anton, a special-purpose supercomputer designed by D. E. Shaw Research and made available at PSC, have yielded new insights into the motion and function of proteins

A Harvard-PSC collaboration pioneers a new approach in brain study that makes it possible to identify the function of individual brain cells and map the connections between them

PSC's newest supercomputer, Blacklight, is helping to break open a potential bottleneck in processing and analysis of DNA sequence data

With Blacklight's shared memory, Carnegie Mellon scientists are upping the ante of what's possible with natural language processing

A team of scientists combine forces to derive the first accurate 3D solution structure of a fascinating double-helical molecule that holds promise for applications in biomedicine and nanotechnology

With MassiveBlack, the largest cosmological simulation of its kind to date, and a new approach to visualizing the results, enabled by PSC's Blacklight, astrophysicists solved a puzzle about how some of the first black holes in the universe became supermassive in such a short time

Computational modeling at PSC helped policymakers locally and nationally evaluate strategies for responding to the 2009 H1N1 flu epidemic

Relying on PSC consulting, software and hardware resources, a Carnegie Mellon computer model that predicts what you're thinking gets even smarter

Computational simulations show how slight structural change in a ubiquitous protein translates to dramatically altered flexibility of the cellular skeleton, fundamental knowledge that could help the search for new anti-cancer drugs
