Scientists Use Summit Supercomputer to Explore Exotic Stellar Phenomena

Understanding how a thermonuclear flame spreads across the surface of a neutron star — and what that spreading can tell us about the relationship between the neutron star’s mass and its radius — can also reveal a lot about the star’s composition. Neutron stars — the compact remnants of supernova…

Reaching Remarkable States of Matter with Laser Simulations

With the help of supercomputers, scientists are getting a better idea of how to study some of the strongest electromagnetic fields in the universe. Scientists aim to use high-power lasers to blast different materials and study the interplay between light and matter. Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the study of how…

Scientists Tap Supercomputing to Study Exotic Matter in Stars

At the heart of some of the smallest and densest stars in the universe lies nuclear matter that might exist in never-before-observed exotic phases. Neutron stars, which form when the cores of massive stars collapse in a luminous supernova explosion, are thought to contain matter at energies greater than what…
