Molecules from scratch without the fiendish physics
A suite of artificial intelligence algorithms may become the ultimate chemistry set. Software developed at Argonne can now quickly predict a property of molecules from their theoretical structure. Similar advances should allow chemists to design new molecules on computers instead of by lengthy trial-and-error.more info >

Formal Analysis of MPI-based Parallel Programs
Formal methods can play an important role in debugging and verifying MPI applications. Here, we describe existing techniques, including their pros and cons, and why they have value beyond MPI, addressing the general needs of future concurrency application developers who will inevitably use low-level concurrency APIs.more info >

Birth of the Universe, Direct Numerical Simulations of Cosmological Reionization
In this video from SC11, Michael Norman (SDSC), Joseph Insley (ANL), and Rick Wagner (SDSC) describe a set of ground-breaking collaborative astrophysics simulations. Essentially, the visualizations depict the formation of the first galaxies, and what happened to the surrounding intergalactic gas when they lit up.more info >
