This multimedia collection contains descriptions of some of the 10,000 scientific research projects that have used the resources of National Science Foundation supercomputing centers. The reports range from astronomy to zoology, and include scientific breakthroughs on black holes, how the heart works, pollution control, and modeling the oceans.
All reports have images, and many also are accompanied by animations and sound.
Browsing will bring you all the reports in a subject area. Searching will retrieve fewer reports on more specific subjects. The goal of Metacenter Science Highlights is to highlight a few examples of scientific results achieved through institutions that are Metacenter participants. Selection and preparation of materials for presentation is at the discretion of the participating institutions. The National MetaCenter for Computational Science and Engineering is a cooperative effort among the supercomputing centers funded by the National Science Foundation.
