Supercomputer Simulations Helping to Improve Wind Predictions

A research team led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is performing simulations at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility, to develop numerical weather prediction models that can provide more accurate wind forecasts in regions with complex terrain.

Electrons "Puddle" Under High Magnetic Fields

In a new study, Argonne scientists have discovered a way to confine the behavior of electrons by using extremely high magnetic fields.

Theory Provides Roadmap in Quest for Quark Soup 'Critical Point'

Thanks to a new development in nuclear physics theory, scientists exploring expanding fireballs that mimic the early universe have new signs to look for as they map out the transition from primordial plasma to matter as we know it.
