Researchers run detailed mouse cortex simulation on Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer

Reported by AI Image generated by AI Fact checked

Scientists from the Allen Institute and Japan’s University of Electro-Communications have built one of the most detailed virtual models of the mouse cortex to date, simulating roughly 9 million neurons and 26 billion synapses across 86 regions on the Fugaku supercomputer.

Astronomers using advanced supercomputer simulations have discovered that stellar rotation enables material from the deep interiors of red giant stars to reach their surfaces. Researchers from the University of Victoria and the University of Minnesota identified this mechanism, resolving a puzzle that has puzzled scientists since the 1970s. The findings, published in Nature Astronomy, explain observed changes in surface chemistry.

New simulations using supercomputers have shown that Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, loses 20 to 40 percent less mass from its icy plumes than previously estimated. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin analyzed data from NASA's Cassini mission to model the plumes' behavior. These findings could inform future missions probing the moon's subsurface ocean for signs of life.
