Scientists working on biofuels also drill deeply, but they drill into the molecular-level activity of enzymes instead of rock.
How energy researchers are doing this using the Ranger supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) is the subject of a story by Aaron Dubrow, TACC’s science writer.
Dubrow shares some of his thoughts about the research:
“I thought some of the most interesting parts of the story were that
