...many years, we've been waiting for Star Trek to realise that they should be here," NIF principal associate director Ed Moses told Live Science. "This is a very futuristic facility... and I think we've all been influenced by Star Trek's vision of the future."

"Dynamic topography is a very important contributor to Earth's surface evolution. With this work, we can demonstrate that even small-scale features, long considered outside the realm of mantle influence, are reflective of mantle contributions" said Rowley

Yuan Ping receives DOE Early Career Research Program Award [Published EurekAlert! - May 23 2013]

"As we pursue the next generation of supercomputing capabilities, which I fully support, [we must] also ensure that the nation is getting the most bang per buck out of our current world-leading facilities. It is noteworthy that while Lawrence Livermore, Argonne, and Oak Ridge National Laboratories - three of the most powerful supercomputers in the world - are addressing incredibly important scientific issues that really require their advanced computing capabilities, Lawrence Berkeley's National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center actually serves thousands of more users with only a fraction of those leadership machines' computing power. The point is, not every computational research effort requires the fastest, most sophisticated system we can possibly build, and I think we also need to do more to make what's sometimes called 'capacity' supercomputing more accessible to both the academic and industrial research communities that could benefit."
