14-Nov-2025 Largest-ever universe simulation up for supercomputing’s highest prize DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Argonne National Laboratory researchers have been nominated for the Gordon Bell Prize in supercomputing for conducting the largest-ever simulation of the universe using the Frontier supercomputer. The achievement sets a new benchmark for simulating the universe, enabling scientists to study atomic matter and dark matter simultaneously. The simulations tracked 4 trillion particles, represented across 15 billion light-years of space — delivering a 15-fold leap in capability over the previous state-of-the-art simulations.

14-Nov-2025 Brazilian startup creates therapeutic vaccine to block the transmission of canine visceral leishmaniasis Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo The vaccine prevents infection spread by inducing an immune response in dogs with visceral leishmaniasis. This response prevents the parasite from being transmitted to the insect vector. This means that if a sand fly bites a vaccinated dog, the parasite cannot be transmitted. Current preventive measures include the use of repellent collars and insecticides, but these options are only moderately effective. Funder Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo
