Scientists have found the crystal structure and unlocked the mechanism of activity of a family of enzymes that produce monensin, widely used as a cattle antibiotic.

Scientists have created the world's first working nanoscale electomotor. The science team designed a turbine engineered from DNA that is powered by hydrodynamic flow inside a nanopore, a nanometer-sized hole in a membrane of solid-state silicon nitride.

ACC's Frontera supercomputer helped astronomers develop PRIYA, the largest suite of hydrodynamic simulations yet made of large-scale structure in the universe.

SC23 podcast with Dan Stanzione, Executive Director of TACC / Associate Vice President for Research, UT Austin.

Optical tweezers use laser light to manipulate small particles. A new method has been advanced using Stampede2 supercomputer simulations that makes optical tweezers safer to use for potential biological applications, such as cancer therapy.

The planet HAT-P-32b is losing so much of its atmospheric helium that the trailing gas tails are among the largest structures yet known any planet outside our solar system.

Deep learning methods augment existing energy-based physical models in ‘do novo' or from-scratch computational protein design, resulting in a 10-fold increase in success rates verified in the lab for binding a designed protein with its target protein.

Seaside, Oregon is focus of study for community resilience from hazardous earthquakes and tsunamis. Environmental data that included buildings, ground movement, and demographics were collected in work recognized with a 2023 DesignSafe Dataset Award.

The ARkStorm 2.0 simulations build upon a scenario developed in 2010 by the US Geological Survey, where large atmospheric rivers dump extreme quantities of rainfall over California and cause widespread flooding.

Deep learning models developed in task-DyVa framework to generate realistic cognitive response time data.

Conditions mapped for the first time of polaron characteristics in 2D materials.

Origin of ultra-massive black holes revealed through supercomputer simulations.

The Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) announced their first publicly released catalog of astronomical objects.

New kind of exciton discovered with novel characteristics in moiré crystal superlattice.

New mechanism determined for passive transport of biomolecules through the nuclear pore complex of cells.

Cosmological hydrodynamic zoom-in simulations used to study gravity hydrodynamics, chemistry and cooling in structure formation and early star formation.

Supercomputer simulations are helping scientists discover new high-entropy alloys.

First realistic simulations developed of HIV-1 capsid, which encloses its genetic material.

Inter-utility water agreements can help mitigate their risks, in research that used supercomputer simulations of water supply in the North Carolina Research Triangle.

Simulations suggest coronavirus fusion mechanism shows cooperative behavior of host cell receptor proteins that leads to infection. Coarse-grained models took cryo-electron tomography data and combined it with atomistic molecular dynamics simulations.
