For 300 years we have known that the Earth’s magnetic field moves gradually westward. Computer simulations on the CSCS super-computer “Monte Rosa” by researchers at ETH Zurich and the University of Leeds explain why this happens. by Simone Ulmer, CSCS The Earth’s magnetic field surrounding our globe protects the Earth from harmful radiation and helps […]
The computational seismology group at ETH Zurich is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic candidate for a postdoctoral researcher position. The position is part of the project “GeoScale: A framework for multiscale seismic modeling and inversion” funded under the Swiss Platform for Advanced Scientific Computing (PASC). Working within a team of seismologists, applied mathematicians and computer […]
Microsoft Research and ETH Zurich are pleased to announce a no-cost two-day hands-on technical training event for academic researchers interested in cloud computing using Windows Azure (limited seats available). In addition researchers may also apply for research grants for large one year allocations of compute/storage to support their research by submitting here » (first deadline […]
Researchers from ETH Zurich have successfully demonstrated, for the first time in vivo, how bone tissue responds to local mechanical stimuli that control bone formation. The study reveals how important it is to stimulate the bones through movement. by Simone Ulmer It is common knowledge that mechanical stress on bones, arising through activities such as […]
The Gordon Bell Prize is awarded each November at the annual Supercomputing conference (SC). It recognizes outstanding and innovative achievements in applying high-performance computing to the sciences, to engineering, and to large scale data analytics. Candidates submitted their work by May 3rd, 2013, and two months later, the ACM Gordon Bell Prize Committee announced the six finalists for the […]
