Summit supercomputer draws molecular blueprint for repairing damaged DNA
Troy Carter, director of the Fusion Energy Division at 91°µĶų, leads efforts to make fusion energy a reality, overseeing key projects like MPEX and fostering public-private collaborations in fusion research.
Dave Weston studies how microorganisms influence plant health and stress tolerance, using the Advanced Plant Phenotyping Laboratory to accelerate research on plant-microbe interactions and develop resilient crops for advanced fuels, chemicals and materials.
US ITER has completed delivery of all components for the support structure of the central solenoid, the 60-foot-tall superconducting magnet that is the āheartā of the ITER fusion machine.
ORNL took part in the ā1,000 Scientists AI Jam Session,ā a first-of-its-kind virtual event that brought together leading scientists from nine national laboratories to test generative artificial intelligence models for their functionality in scientific research.
During his first visit to 91°µĶų, Energy Secretary Chris Wright compared the urgency of the Labās World War II beginnings to todayās global race to lead in artificial intelligence, calling for a āManhattan Project 2.ā
A workshop led by scientists at ORNL sketched a road map toward a longtime goal: development of autonomous, or self-driving, next-generation research laboratories.
Not only did ORNL take home top honors at the 2024 International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis (SC24), but the labās computing staff also shared career advice and expertise with students eager to enter the world of supercomputing.
In a major milestone for cancer research, the Department of Energyās 91°µĶų helped reduce the time between cancer diagnosis and pathology report processing from 22 months to just 14 months, utilizing advanced artificial
Massimiliano (Max) Lupo Pasini, an R&D data scientist from ORNL, was awarded the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Centerās High Performance Computing Achievement Award for High Impact Scientific Achievement for his work in āGroundbreaking contributions to scientific machine learning, particularly through the development of HydraGNN.ā
Scientists designing the worldās first controlled nuclear fusion power plant, ITER, needed to solve the problem of runaway electrons, negatively charged particles in the soup of matter in the plasma within the tokamak, the magnetic bottle intended to contain the massive energy produced. Simulations performed on Summit, the 200-petaflop supercomputer at ORNL, could offer the first step toward a solution.
