Five Ways Berkeley Lab's NERSC is Revolutionizing Scientific Research

The future of scientific research is one of collaboration and integration, utilizing the power of team science and technology to accelerate the pace of innovation. Building on the pioneering Superfacility model, seamlessly connecting experimental facilities, supercomputers, and data resources, NERSC is facilitating an integrated research infrastructure that's greater than the sum of its parts. This approach has enabled real-time analysis of experiments at scientific facilities around the world, accelerating the pace of discovery across disciplines.

NERSC continues to upgrade its systems and capabilities. The NERSC-10 project will deliver a next-generation supercomputer by 2027, which will be critical for enabling new and interconnected modes of scientific discovery. NERSC remains at the forefront of scientific computing, helping researchers tackle our biggest challenges, from energy research to understanding the fundamental nature of our universe.
