OpenAI’s July 15 field report on agent-assisted scientific computing makes a case that coding agents are becoming practical infrastructure tools—not autonomous researchers. Across eight projects, primarily in life sciences, teams used Codex alone or alongside Claude Code for work ranging from...

Cloud computing’s promise to deliver elastic, on‑demand infrastructure at commodity prices is colliding with a starkly different reality for scientific research: many science workloads are episodic, specialized, and risk‑sensitive, and today’s commercial cloud pricing and procurement models...

Scientific discovery is rarely a solo endeavor. The march of progress is propelled by incremental breakthroughs, paradigm shifts, and the relentless curiosity of generations of scientists. Nowhere is this narrative more evident than in the development of density functional theory (DFT)—a quantum...

When Clarios—the global leader in advanced energy storage—set out to overhaul its high-performance computing (HPC) strategy, the destination was clear: faster insights, increased agility, and the resilience to keep innovating. Yet the road there was anything but certain. Like many manufacturing...

For anyone who’s ever battled with an HPC cluster, watching as cryptic SLURM commands and arcane SSH rituals defeated your best intentions, there’s a new glimmer of hope on the as-a-service horizon. Azure, along with its regular cast of cloud and silicon heroes, is unleashing a dynamic duo: Open...
