The Energy Department's National Lab builds one of the world’s most energy efficient data centers.

How advanced computing technology is helping major companies lower their R&D costs while developing more energy efficiency technologies.

After 40 years of searching, scientists celebrate the discovery of the Higgs boson particle.

Princeton Plasma has extended its fusion research to detecting and identifying sources of dangerous radiation that might signal a potential nuclear threat, like a “dirty bomb.”

With 1.6 million cores and 1.6 petabytes of memory, Sequoia takes the title for the fastest supercomputer on the planet.

Tapping the entrepreneurial spirit of its Silicon Valley surroundings, Lawrence Livermore National Lab has a legacy that includes the launch of hundreds of successful companies. During just the past 20 years, five entrepreneurs from the Lab have founded four companies with a current market capitalization of $8.4 billion.

A new prototype network transmits at about 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps), which is about 10 times faster than most commercial Internet providers, and approximately 50,000 times faster than scientists (or anyone else) can send information via their iPhones. Learn how it will provide the opportunity for greater insight into scientific and societal challenges.
 


Before P&G partnered with the Energy Department's Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in the 1990s, packaging line stoppages cost the producer of household goods more than $1 billion each year. Learn more about the simulation software revolutionizing manufacturing.

It’s said that a picture is worth a thousand words. That’s exponentially more true – in pixelations and calculations – for the crafted and complex images and simulations produced by Energy Department supercomputers through our INCITE program.
 

To increase the speed of rescue efforts, scientists and engineers at the Energy Department’s Sandia National Laboratories recently developed a new robot, called the Gemini-Scout Mine Rescue Robot, that quickly finds dangers and provides relief to trapped miners.

A dust-size "dragonfly-inspired" device -- which won a Sandia Lab design contest -- may ultimately enable the creation of tiny microvalves for experiments in biological research laboratories and medical facilities.

The Cray XT4 supercomputer at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) is helping to explain the froth of apparent "bubbles."
