A new interdisciplinary study shows that learners are happy to share their learning data at first. But group discussions change this willingness.
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) has long been a flagship for research computing. As one of the founding members of the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) ecosystem of high-performance computing resources, NCSA has an important role in the success of research projects nationwide. The Center has been fortunate to have had strong and inspirational guidance over the years, including current Director Bill Gropp. After eight impressive years as NCSA’s Director, Gropp is announcing his retirement.
By assessing the structural similarity of different atomic structures, University of Rochester researchers found that they could get an accurate picture of the chemical processes involved and draw the relevant conclusions by analyzing just two percent or fewer of the unique configurations of surface interactions. They developed an algorithm reflecting this insight, which they described in a study published in Chemical Science.
