An elevation plot of the highest energy neutron flux distributions from an axial slice of a nuclear reactor core is shown superimposed over the same slice of the underlying geometry. This figure shows the rapid spatial variation in the high energy neutron distribution between within each plate along with the more slowly varying, global distribution. UNIC allows researchers to capture both of these effects simultaneously. (Courtesy: Argonne National Lab/Flickr)

Dealing with a universe of data
U. CHICAGO—Modeling the evolution of the universe is no mean feat, not only because of the complex mathematics involved, but also because of the sheer amount of data that is generated from a working model of—well, the universe. (more…)
