From Materials Simulation to Experimental Astronomy, New NVIDIA AI Software Unlocks Scientific Discoveries - NVIDIA Blog

Roman is designed to return about 1.4 terabytes of data daily, with observations becoming publicly available after processing. A collaboration of roughly 900 astronomers is preparing to search those observations for planets, black holes and cosmic explosions. The telescope’s surveys could sharpen measurements of dark energy, but their major discoveries still lie ahead. A distant star briefly brightens. A supernova appears in a galaxy. Somewhere else, an unseen object bends passing starlight. NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is designed to capture such changes across crowded stretches of sky, then make its observations available for others to investigate. The challenge will be keeping up. Roman is expected to return about 1.4 terabytes of data daily during operations. Jessica Lu, an astronomy associate professor at the University of California, Berkeley, and David Weinberg of Ohio State University have organized a collaboration of roughly 900 astronomers to prepare. Their effort connects two ambitions: finding unusual objects in the Milky Way and understanding why the universe’s expansion is accelerating.

Optogenetics, IceCube and the Soai reaction all waited two to four decades for the call from Stockholm

As NASA prepared for Artemis II, the agency’s first crewed mission around the moon in more than half a century, teams across the organization generated streams of information – safety analyses, engineering reviews and mission data scattered across at least 10 separate sources. “We have so much open data, and it can sometimes be hard to find. It can be hard to connect to it,” says Anna Steers-Smith, the agency’s senior advisor on AI.
