Protein Design on Demand

Researchers used the world’s fastest supercomputer to train an artificial intelligence model to draw up blueprints for the building blocks of life. The study earned the multi-institutional team a finalist nomination for the Association for Computing Machinery’s Gordon Bell Prize, which honors innovation in applying high-performance computing to applications in science,…

ORNL Scientists Generate Molecular Datasets at Extreme Scale

A team of computational scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has generated and released datasets of unprecedented scale that provide the ultraviolet visible spectral properties of over 10 million organic molecules. Understanding how a molecule interacts with light is essential to uncovering its electronic and optical…

Learning With the Flow

The bigger the swirl, the bigger the problem — and the bigger the computing power needed to solve it. Computational fluid dynamics researchers have spent decades studying how liquids and gases flow in and around such machinery as airplane wings, propeller blades and jet engines in search of faster speeds…

Machine Learning for Better Drug Design

When Harel Weinstein and his team at the Joan & Sanford I. Weill Medical College (Weill Cornell Medicine) of Cornell University set out to learn the molecular mechanisms of drugs, they weren’t expecting to train computers to analyze some of the most complex data in pharmacology. In fact, they really…

From Simulation to Automation in a Data-Rich World

In a farewell nod to Titan, scheduled to be decommissioned in August 2019, we present a short series of features highlighting some of Titan’s impactful contributions to scientific research. Long before the first computers were invented, intelligent robots appeared in myths, stories, and other works of fiction. In recent years,…
