Distilling How Water Turns into Ice

Among the mysteries of science that continue to elude researchers, one stands apart in its vexing simplicity: ice. Yes, frozen water. Water’s transformation from liquid to solid is actually a complex process of nature that scientists have named—nucleation—yet do not fully understand. However, Princeton University researchers have taken trailblazing steps…

ECP Advances the Science of Atmospheric Convection Modeling

Researchers supported by the US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Exascale Computing Project (ECP) have integrated the promising super-parameterization technique for modeling moist convection into the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM), which is a global climate modeling, simulation, and prediction project being developed by DOE. This method enables E3SM to significantly…

Laying the Groundwork for a New ‘Green Revolution’

In 2015, all member states of the United Nations pledged to pursue the 17 Sustainable Development Goals set forth by the UN General Assembly in its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The goals serve as a framework to tackle many of the world’s challenges, ranging from practical issues like infrastructure…
