Supercomputing the Building Blocks of the Universe

In this special guest feature, ORNL profiles researcher Gaute Hagen, who uses the Summit supercomputer to model scientifically interesting atomic nuclei. "A central question he is trying to answer is: what is the size of a nucleus? The difference between the radii of neutron and proton distributions-called the "neutron skin"- has implications for the equation-of-state of neutron matter and neutron stars."
