Satellite Data Reveal Rapid Darkening of the Arctic

February 20, 2014

…studies have relied on computer models. The Scripps team used NASA’s CERES satellite instruments as well as observations of sea ice cover made with other satellites. The researchers found that the magnitude of surface darkening has been two to three times as large as that found in previous studies. They…

Supercomputer Simulations Show How DNA Prepares Itself for Repair

June 25, 2020

Researchers from Harvard University and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston recently used the Comet supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center at the University of California San Diego to uncover the novel ways in which DNA prepares itself for repair.

SDSC’s ‘Comet’ Supercomputer Used to Simulate Environmental Changes in Chesapeake Bay

August 6, 2020

Researchers recently used Comet at the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego to examine impacts of both regional and global changes affecting the Chesapeake Bay.

SDSC Director Michael Norman Named to Federal Task Force for Advancing Artificial Intelligence

June 15, 2021

The Biden administration has launched the National Artificial Intelligence Research Resource Task Force, on which San Diego Supercomputer Center Director and Physics Professor Michael Norman will participate to help democratize access to resources and tools that fuel AI research and development.

Squeezing Light Into Infinitesimally Thin Lines

September 20, 2017

Researchers have demonstrated a new mode of electromagnetic wave, called a “line wave,” which has potential applications in areas ranging from integrated photonics, sensing and quantum processes to future vacuum electronics.

New Computer Program ‘Learns’ to Identify Mosaic Mutations That Cause Disease

January 2, 2023

UC San Diego researchers describe a method for teaching a computer how to spot complex “mosaic mutations” using an artificial intelligence approach termed “deep learning.”

Startup Companies Tackle COVID-19 From Many Angles

April 16, 2020

…cell and then running simulations to determine their success. Others are tinkering with solutions to keep the coronavirus from replicating itself, in the event that it does infect a human cell. All of this represents potential movement toward treatments for COVID-19 in the form of vaccines, inhalables or pills. Nanome…

SDSC Launches Open-Source ‘SeedMeLab’

October 14, 2019

Researchers at the San Diego Supercomputer Center at UC San Diego have launched an open-source software called SeedMeLab, which provides a host of features for researchers across all disciplines to manage and disseminate their data.

Novel Coronavirus Circulated Undetected Months before First COVID-19 Cases in Wuhan, China

March 18, 2021

Using molecular dating tools and epidemiological simulations, researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine estimate that the SARS-CoV-2 virus likely circulated undetected for two months before the first human cases of COVID-19 were described in Wuhan, China in late-December 2019.

SDSC Researcher Co-Authors New Wildfire Progression Research

June 7, 2022

Direction and spread of an active wildfire are driven by fuel, topography and prevailing wind conditions. While data on fuel and topography can be mapped before the start of a wildfire, prevailing wind conditions are difficult to chart given their variability and uncertainty.
