Using an application that took the 2009 Gordon Bell Prize as the world’s most advanced scientific computing application, a team led by ORNL’s Markus Eisenbach has been simulating the magnetic properties of promising materials, focusing in particular on the magnetocaloric effect. Its work is detailed in three recent papers in…

Scientists use Oak Ridge and Argonne supercomputers to gain insight into nuclear behavior The Vary team made predictions about the behavior of fluoride–14 and published its results in Physical Review C. The predictions (ab initio bars) nearly matched an experiment done 6 months later at Texas A&M’s Cyclotron Institute (experiment…

When German physicist Max Planck created quantum theory in 1900, he was not trying to revolutionize the world. He was just trying to provide a theoretical foundation for the way a heated object radiates energy and, thereby, to improve the efficiency of light bulbs. Modern scientists, too, cannot know which…
