New wave supercomputers catch big waves
DOE/Los Alamos National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
The new wave in computing - super-fast machines churning out three-dimensional models viewable in high-tech, immersive theaters - may teach us more about the big waves that sometimes threaten people who live near the seashore.

New supernova models take on third dimension
DOE/Los Alamos National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
Astrophysicists from Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, have created the first 3-D computer simulations of the spectacular explosion that marks the death of a massive star. Presented to the American Astronomical Society meeting in Albuquerque, N.M., today, the research by Michael Warren and Chris Fryer eliminates some of the doubts about earlier 2-D modeling and paves the way for rapid advances on other, more exotic questions about supernovae.

Black hole dynamo may be cosmos' ultimate electricity generator
DOE/Los Alamos National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory believe that magnetic field lines extending a few million light years from galaxies into space may be the result of incredibly efficient energy-producing dynamos within black holes that are somewhat analogous to an electric motor. Los Alamos researchers Philipp Kronberg, Quentin Dufton, Stirling Colgate and Hui Li today discussed this finding at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Albuquerque, N.M.

Los Alamos researcher conducts volcanic voyeurism
DOE/Los Alamos National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
A researcher with the U.S. Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory has spied on volcanoes from a distance to learn whether they give out subtle clues prior to erupting.
He also learned that spying on volcanoes isn't always simple and straightforward.
Los Alamos researcher Steve Love today outlined the triumphs and tribulations associated with using remote sensing techniques to study volcanic gases during a talk at the American Geophysical Union's spring meeting in Washington.

Los Alamos volconologist highlights education collaboration
DOE/Los Alamos National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
A collaboration between the U.S. Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of New Mexico has resulted in a successful, one-of-a-kind educational program where students can get a first-hand glimpse into the esoteric world of volcanology.

Smaller slower, supercomputers someday may win the race
DOE/Los Alamos National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
The supercomputers of the future will never crash and will cost far less to run than today's machines. At least that's the vision of a scientist at the National Nuclear Security Administration's Los Alamos National Laboratory.
