The Science Behind Material Creation

A great deal of research goes into creating materials used in everyday structures such as buildings and bridges. Using supercomputers to study next-generation compounds is just one way ACCESS is an important resource for materials science researchers.

Anvil Dropping Into ACCESS

Purdue’s supercomputer, Anvil, has recently completed its testing phase and is now officially an ACCESS resource. It’s already hard at work aiding researchers in their search for sustainability and in cancer-research training.
