San Diego Supercomputer Center Helps Advance Computational Chemistry

February 8, 2021

Researchers from MIT have succeeded in developing an artificial intelligence (AI) approach to detect electron correlation – the interaction between a system’s electrons – which is vital but expensive to calculate in quantum chemistry.

Lightening the Data Center Energy Load

February 3, 2021

Engineers at UC San Diego are on the front lines of global efforts to reduce the energy used by data centers. Through an ARPA-E grant, the team is working to double data center energy efficiency in the next decade through deployment of new photonic— light based —network topologies.

Supercomputers Advance Longer-Lasting, Faster-Charging Batteries

January 28, 2021

Thanks to NSF-funded supercomputers including Comet at the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego, the research community has been making progress on developing more reliable and efficient batteries that may power tomorrow's electric vehicles and other products.

Genomic Studies Implicate Specific Genes in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

January 28, 2021

After analyzing the genomes of more 250,000 military veterans, researchers have identified 18 specific, fixed positions on chromosomes that appear associated with post-traumatic stress disorder. The findings may point to new therapeutic drug targets.

Two Anti-viral Enzymes Transform Pre-Leukemia Stem Cells into Leukemia

January 26, 2021

Viral infections and space travel similarly trigger inflammation and the enzymes APOBEC3C and ADAR1; UC San Diego researchers are developing ways to inhibit them as a means to potentially lower cancer risk for both astronauts and people on Earth.
