Gravitational Waves Detected 100 Years After Einstein’s Prediction
For the first time, scientists have observed ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves, arriving at the earth from a cataclysmic event in the distant universe. This confirms a major prediction of Albert Einstein’s 1915 general theory of relativity.
A Direct Bridge
An algorithm developed by University of Arkansas engineers aids both computational scientists and experimentalists exploring the atomic scale structure of materials.
Behind the Scenes of ‘Hubble 3D’
Narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, this documentary film takes viewers through distant galaxies as it tells the story of the repair and upgrade of the Hubble telescope.
NCSA Researcher Simulates Entire Life Form
A recent simulation of the satellite tobacco mosaic virus is a striking first. There’s never been a computer simulation of an entire life form in atomic detail. Until now.
Hunt for the Supertwister
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign collaborated with visualization experts at NCSA in an effort to shed light on how the most violent tornadoes form and to create animations that reveal the inner behavior of tornado producing storms.
Playing the Supercomputer Game
When Sony later released the Linux Kit for the PS2, interest in the machines spread beyond the gaming community to a seemingly unlikely place: the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA).
