Continuing Arecibo's LegacyData from the collapsed Arecibo radio telescope has found a new home at TACC. Thanks to a multi-institutional partnership, 50 years of Arecibo sky scans are being safely moved and preserved. This data has helped scientists make Nobel-prize-winning discoveries. | ||||
 Gabor Toth (University of Michigan) will use Frontera to improve the accuracy and extend the lead time for extreme space weather events. Credit. Toth, et al. | New Discoveries in the Making for 2021-2022The National Science Foundation has approved allocations of supercomputing time on TACC's Frontera supercomputer for 58 science projects for 2021-2022. The projects, led by researchers at 41 universities across 23 states, range from efforts to engineer new nanomaterials to studies mapping pan-Arctic permafrost thaw. | |||

Supercomputer simulations using TACC's Stampede2 and Bridges at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center helped test translocation and free energy within the virus. The research will help find new drug targets and improve anti-retroviral drugs. | |||

Sakai (KEK). | Searching for Hints of New Physics in the Subatomic WorldTwo leading contemporary scholars of quantum chromodynamics are using the Frontera supercomputer at TACC to explore hints of new physics in discrepancies between theoretical results and particle physics experiments. Their work addresses the magnetic moment of the muon, which was recently found to not match the predictions of the Standard Model, prompting worldwide excitement. | |||
 Sethuraman Panchanathan, computer scientist and the 15th director of the U.S. National Science Foundation. | NSF Opinion: "We need to strengthen and accelerate U.S. science and technology progress"The time has come to unleash the full power of U.S. innovation or risk diminished relevance. Thanks to strong support from Congress, the National Science Foundation will forge a path for American leadership in R&D. | |||
 Freshwater from Beaufort Sea Could Alter Global Climate PatternsResearchers from the University of Washington have discovered that Arctic water with slow overturning circulation could have dire consequences for European weather systems and deliver intense coastal flooding to the U.S. eastern seaboard. |  Code@TACC Connected Revs Up for Summer 2021 (Virtual)Calling all 10th and 11th grade (rising 11th and 12th) high school students! Code@TACC Connected is an innovative summer program where coding meets community. This year's program takes place July 26-August 6. Application deadline: May 17. |  Work@TACCWorking at TACC means being part of a dynamic and exciting environment, where talented individuals pursue their interests, engage their imaginations, and work at the forefront of computational research. Working with us also means living in Austin, an exceptional city that thrives on innovation, culture, and creativity. | ||||
