Getting CPU-intensive computations to run faster used to mean buying a new computer. Not any more, reports Kenneth Shankland and Tom Griffin
Although they derive from redundant Victorian prototypes, fuel cells are sometimes regarded as a power source for the future. But first, as Ray Girvan describes, there is a lot of scientific computing to be done
The trend in laboratory informatics is towards integration of software with instruments and with enterprise resource planning software. Different vendors have different ways of achieving this end and it has driven take-overs and mergers, according to Peter Rees
Once the research has been done, the report has to be written. It used to be boring, but now Felix Grant has found software that makes it bliss
Researchers at Harvard Medical School (HMS) have released an open source drug discovery platform, VirtualFlow, that harnesses supercomputing power to screen potentially billions of small organic compound structures in parallel, in the hunt for promising new drug molecules.
When designing a component or system, where do you start? In days gone by, designers would literally go back to the drawing board, using their experience and expertise to develop a new concept.
Effective utilisation of computing tools is critical to both AI and HPC research, with recent projects in both fields highlighting the scientific benefit of carefully managing resources.
Advances in computer vision combined with AI computing are helping pathologists to more accurately identify subtypes of cancer - leading to better treatments for patients, explains Dan Ruderman.
