Public Release: 14-Nov-2012
Bug repellent for supercomputers proves effective Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have used the Stack Trace Analysis Tool, a highly scalable, lightweight tool to debug a program running more than one million MPI processes on the IBM Blue Gene/Q-based Sequoia supercomputer.

Public Release: 14-Nov-2012
Traumatic brain injury patients, supercomputer simulations studied to improve helmets Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico are comparing supercomputer simulations of blast waves on the brain with clinical studies of veterans suffering from mild traumatic brain injuries to help improve helmet designs.

Supercomputing 2012PNNL expertise highlighted at Supercomputing PNNL research describing new and improved ways to crunch massive amounts of data will be presented at the Supercomputing 2012 conference. Papers to be presented include how to use matching approximation to find similar patterns in different data sets and a new software that helps speed up parallel computations by automatically translating MPI code.

Department of Energy's ESnet rolls out world's fastest science network The US Department of Energy's (DOE) ESnet (Energy Sciences Network) is now operating the world's fastest science network, serving the entire national laboratory system, its supercomputing centers, and its major scientific instruments at 100 gigabits per second -- 10 times faster than its previous generation network.

 Astronomy & AstrophysicsBOSS quasars unveil a new era in the expansion history of the universe Using the "Lyman-alpha forests" of tens of thousands of quasar spectra, the third Sloan Digital Sky Survey's Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, has measured the large-scale structure of the early universe for the first time. No other technique can reach back over 10 billion years to probe baryon oscillations at a time when the expansion of the universe was still decelerating and dark energy was yet to turn on.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesErosion has a point -- and an edge, NYU researchers find Erosion caused by flowing water does not only smooth out objects, but can also form distinct shapes with sharp points and edges, a team of New York University researchers has found. Their findings reveal the unexpected ways that erosion can affect landscapes and artificial materials.

Nature PhotonicsStudy provides recipe for 'supercharging' atoms with X-ray laser Researchers using a free-electron X-ray laser have found a way to strip most of the electrons from xenon atoms, creating a "supercharged," strongly positive state at energies previously thought too low.

NatureMore bang for the biofuel buck Berkeley Lab researchers have shown that a fermentation process used in World War I to make cordite for bullets and artillery shells, in combination with a modern palladium catalyst could produce gasoline, diesel or jet fuel from the sugars found in biomass.

ScienceNanocrystals and nickel catalyst substantially improve light-based hydrogen production Hydrogen is an attractive fuel source because it can easily be converted into electric energy and gives off no greenhouse emissions. A group of chemists at the University of Rochester is adding to its appeal by increasing the output and lowering the cost of current light-driven hydrogen-production systems.

Global metabolomic initiative announced Investigators at Washington University and The Scripps Research Institute have announced the launch of a "Global Metabolomic Initiative" to facilitate meta-analyses on studies of the metabolism of bacteria, yeast, plants, animals and people. Although metabolomics has existed as a discipline for only a decade, it has already provided insights into many difficult-to-treat diseases, including chronic pain. Many more are expected to fall out of the meta-analyses.

November 2012 story tips Scientists have found that rising levels of ozone may amplify the impacts of higher temperatures and reduce streamflow from forests to rivers, streams and other water bodies. Recommendations to accelerate climate modeling to learn more about climate's regional ramifications and future effects. Research project to continue, providing additional data that could make houses of tomorrow even better. Ethanol blends of 10 to 25 percent could potentially have more fuel pump compatibility issues than higher blends. Contact: Ron Walli

Nature ChemistryResearchers make strides toward selective oxidation catalysts Solid catalysts tend to be highly reactive, but more efficient chemical processes require that catalysts be more scrupulous about their reactants. Now Northwestern University researchers have a new method for making selective oxidation catalysts, a step that could lead to greener energy.
