In this video from the 2013 HPC User Forum, Bronson Messer from Oak Ridge National Laboratory presents: Petascale Supernova Simulation. For more presentations, check out the HPC User Forum Video ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Michigan State University are using Mira to perform large-scale 3-D simulations of the final moments of a supernova’s life cycle. While the 3-D simulation approach is ...

Machine-learning technology developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory played a key role in the discovery of supernova ASASSN-15lh, an exceptionally powerful explosion that was 570 billion times ...

Visualization plays a key role in helping scientists understand large amounts of information. This role can range from the discovery of problems within the data that may not necessarily be evident in ...

There has always been a lot of speculation as to how black holes actually form when a massive star dies. It is generally accepted that any star over about 20 solar masses (20 times more massive than ...

DON’T try this at home. For the first time, a lab experiment has probed the nuclear physics inside a dying star. When a star explodes, trillions of tonnes of gas collapse inwards before bursting into ...

This visualization depicts a massive star about to collapse and explode into a supernova. Researchers found in the new simulation that the wrinkles that develop just before collapse are crucial to ...
