Behind the long-term climate projections that affect our lives sits one of the most remarkable scientific achievements of the modern era.
When the Gadi supercomputer opened in 2020, it was ranked 24th in the world. It’s now dropped to 179th.
Today’s supercomputers are enormously powerful, but the work they do − running AI and tackling difficult science − is pushing them to their limits. Building bigger supercomputers won’t be easy.
Understanding the evolution of radio galaxies is crucial for unravelling the broader processes that shape the universe.
Labour’s decision to cancel the UK’s next-generation supercomputer is just the tip of the iceberg.
If a star gets too close to a black hole, it gets shredded and produces a complex ball of light. These videos are the first time this dramatic event has been simulated in detail.
The prevailing human reaction to the idea of artificial intelligence has always been fear, revealed in the way film has portrayed our increasingly important relationship with AI over the years.
Quantum computing has huge promise from a technical perspective, but the practical benefits are less clear.
Neuromorphic computers aim to one day replicate the amazing efficiency of the brain.
The volcanic eruptions that bring diamonds to Earth’s surface are driven by ‘pillars of heat’ stretching deep inside the planet.
The European Union’s 10-year Human Brain Project is coming to a close. Whether this controversial 1 billion-euro project achieved its aims is unclear, but its online forum did foster collaboration.
Recent suggests quantum computers could solve problems with breathtaking speed by comparison to current supermodels.
From more accurate climate modelling to the prospect of truly creative computers, the brain’s use of noise has a lot to teach us.
Radio telescopes produce enormous amounts of data, and we need immense computing power to produce even a single image like this one.
From robotic hands to brain-like computers, the Human Brain Project has produced some intriguing results.
Calculating pi with unprecedented accuracy has zero scientific usefulness. But as a show of computing muscle and a mathematical curiosity, it’s endlessly intriguing.
Diversifying leadership can change organizational cultures, which removes barriers to women in the tech industry and academia.
Supercomputers in Canberra and Perth power the analysis and modelling that decision-makers rely on in national crises.
Scanning through billions of chemicals to find a few potential drugs for treating COVID-19 requires computers that harness together thousands of processors.
