Mail from Chile from Igor Dal Bo

I was very excited when I discovered that I was to go from Jülich to Chile for my research. And here I am! I feel privileged at having the opportunity to work surrounded by this amazing natural environment, especially as I have been travelling a lot since I have been here. That’s necessary anyway, since I’m collecting data in four national parks for my research. From the Atacama Desert to the monkey puzzle trees in Nahuelbuta’s pristine forests, the landscape changes at every turn.

Supercomputing Away From Keyboard – Impressions from the Largest Conference on Supercomputers

Dr. Andreas Herten is a Post-Doc at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre. He researches in accelerating scientific applications with graphics processing units (GPUs). Recently, he went to USA to give a tutorial at the largest conference for supercomputing. About 12 000 people visit the conference each year – and Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) does so as well.

Quantum Mechanics Illustrated Intuitively By Neutron Scattering

Quantum Mechanics Illustrated Intuitively By Neutron Scattering

Quantum mechanics is one of the central pillars of modern physics. This mathematically complex theory which allows the properties and laws of matter to be described is, however, rather to understand intuitively. Generations of young scientists have approached this difficult concept with the help of double-slit experiments that clearly demonstrate wave – particle duality. Two new videos from the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) offer a practical alternative to this.

“Despite the difficulties I am keeping the PhD time in good memory”
4. März 2016 Gastblogger:in Zweikommazwei

“Despite the difficulties I am keeping the PhD time in good memory”

On a typical working day I spent hours at the desk of my office to work out the ideas and to create and submit computational jobs from my work station which has a remote connection to the supercomputing cluster of the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC). Most of the time these tasks were accompanied by literature research to a certain extent to deepen the understanding of the theoretical aspects of the employed methods.
