How to Watch this Week ’ s Spectacular Geminid Meteor Shower
Harvard astronomer Fred Whipple thought he did not have much to show for his night’s labors on Oct. 11, 1983. Yes, working with NASA’s Infrared Astronomical Satellite, he had discovered an entirely new cosmic object—which is always a nice thing to put on the scientific tote board. But that object was an unremarkable one. Measuring only 5.1 km (3.17 mi.) across and dimly illuminated, it was thought to be either a dead comet—one that had lost its ices and other volatiles after repeated passes by the sun; or a rock comet, which also lacks volatiles, but which nonetheless gives off tail-like particles l...

World ’s fastest supercomputers are helping to sharpen climate forecasts and design new materials
DENVER— To really understand how a material behaves, researchers need to simulate its whirling electrons, which govern most of its chemical and electronic properties. But they have traditionally faced a trade-off. They could simulate up to a couple of hundred electrons with near-perfect accuracy. Or they could simulate a much larger number—while accuracy fell off a cliff. The world’s most powerful supercomputers, operating at the far frontier of speed known as the exascale, have now begun to eliminate that trade-off. At SC23, a supercomputing conference here, researchers this week reported simulating...
