GPUs may have big parallel processing performance, but that ultimately doesn't matter if applications don't support it, so it is understandable that NVIDIA would eagerly announce if an important software gained such support, not to mention four.
Indeed, according to its new press release, LAMMPS, GROMACS,... |

For many years, researchers have suspected that the Jovian moon Europa contains a hidden underground ocean, but now chemists believe that something else may be taking place on the planet as well. They explain that the deep regions of the moon, and perhaps even its surface, may be home to some fast chemical processes,... |

High-level sports competitions are occasions on which, theoretically, only the best of the best should gather to match their skills against others. But, in some cases, a few of these athletes “enhance” their performance by nefarious means, such as illegal substances. It is the job of doping officials and ... |

Chemists have recently made a discovery that could change the way chemical reactions are approached forever. They have determined that, while mixing a reaction has the ability to promote it, the opposite is also true. In other words, putting the right mix of elements together can trigger a stirring reaction inside th... |

In a first-of-its-kind scientific study, researchers managed to calculate the exact energy of molecular hydrogen, using nothing more than a quantum computer. This is one of the earliest pieces of evidence and proofs-of-concept related to the new technology, which is currently being researched around the world, as an ... |

Over the past several decades, China's fast-paced economic growth has by far surpassed its innovation levels, leaving the country to move ahead scientifically more through imitation than own discoveries. Now, Beijing authorities have taken a stance on this and awarded two of the nation’s most prominent sci... |

Super atoms are bundles of several tens of individual atoms in a vapor state that have a collective chemical behavior similar to that of a single atom of the same element used to create the super atom. Super atoms have been proven to exist for the first time back in 2005 when a team of researchers created a super ato... |

Knowing how solid surfaces interact with liquids is often required in domains such as chemical industry or nanotechnology, but so far nobody succeeded to describe these interactions in simple mathematical formulas. Every time scientists tried to explain the phenomenon through experiments in this field, calculations b... |

Mechanoluminescence is the process of light generation through mechanical forces and it usually happens in crystalline structures, such as sugar or quartz. It can be produced through ultrasound, caused by stress that results in the formation of fractures or simply by rubbing, grinding or cleaving a solid.Sir Franci... |

Art forgery dates back more than two-thousand years. Roman sculptors produced copies of Greek sculptures. Presumably the contemporary buyers knew that they were not genuine.Art restoration is a process that attempts to return the work of art to some previous state that the restorer imagines to be "original". This wa... |

Spring is definitely here, Easter is just around the corner, birds are singing, trees are blossoming and children are happily playing in the grass. What a fine day for science this is, isn't it? Well, you could argue it actually is a very unfortunate day for science, but I was in the mood for something education... |
