Frontier Supercomputer Simulates Universe with Unmatched Complexity
The Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has conducted the most detailed universe simulation to date. Using the Hardware/Hybrid Accelerated Cosmology Code (HACC) under the U.S. Department of Energy’s Exascale Computing Project, the model incorporates dark matter, gas, and plasma interactions. With speeds reaching 1.4 exaFLOPS, ...

Ocean Warming Rate Quadruples Over Four Decades, Accelerating Climate Change
New research highlights a troubling acceleration in ocean warming, with the rate of temperature rise quadrupling since the 1980s. According to a study in Environmental Research Letters, ocean surface temperatures now rise at 0.27°C per decade, up from 0.06°C. This rapid warming, driven by greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane, is worsening Earth'...

Modified Train Cars Use Energy From Braking to Clean Air of CO2, Help Fight Climate Change
CO2Rail, a US-based firm, has joined hands with researchers from The University of Sheffield to develop equipment for trains that can help tackle climate change by cleaning the air around a rail car. The system can be used on existing trains and works by harnessing vast amounts of energy generated when a train brakes or slows down.
