A New Generation of String Simulations
Studying cosmic strings is beneficial, for example, for predicting future cosmic events. This requires high-resolution simulations. One of the biggest problems with these simulations is their resolution and accuracy. But a team of Portuguese researchers from the University of Porto has set out to find the solution. The computational resources have already allowed them to…

Why can’t we see quarks?
The lattice QCD research group at the University of Coimbra is performing realistic simulations using HPC to better understand the interaction and propagation of particles – quarks and gluons – that have never been observed directly.
