Breaking new ground: ESnet streams science in real time, simplifying workflows
In April 2024, Jefferson Lab streamed and processed raw physics data in real time over 3,000 miles at 100 gigabits per second—a breakthrough for big-data science.
ESnet (USA)
Virtual SuperLab combines nuclear and renewable powers
In a virtual exercise, the Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) and partners demonstrated that large-scale renewable energy sources can be introduced into the US energy system without interruptions in power supply.
Snapshots of molecular reactions
A US collaboration with participation from NREN ESnet has developed a new way to study the structure of molecules.
Supercomputing to tackle energy challenges
US researchers were able to simulate an energy system where operators hundreds of kilometers apart work together just like they were sitting side by side in a simulation.
Data recovery of astronomical proportions
The collapse of the famous Arecibo Observatory Radio Telescope, Puerto Rico, at December 1, 2020, was a great loss for science. Still, things could have been a lot worse…
How science engagers fight the ”Sneaker Net”
Many scientists are still moving hard drives or USB flash drives around although they don’t need to. They have a high-speed Research & Education Network at their service, but they are not taking full advantage of the networking resources available to them. This is where the Science Engager comes in.
