Finns pioneer small language processing
With assistance from a supercomputer, a Finnish research group has developed the first comprehensive Finnish language model.
Sub-sea cables are the new science instruments
Using sub-sea cables as scientific instruments for collecting environmental and other data is an interesting new trend
Predicting tsunamis through quantum computing
In Finland, a new type of supercomputer merges conventional supercomputing with quantum computing. An application could be calculating in near-real-time how a tsunami will develop.
Open science helps us understand the Vikings
A European initiative for open science allows archaeologists to map the journeys of Vikings based on artifacts found in different countries.
Synchrotron sheds light on ancient Middle East
The technology reveals evidence for human heavy metal exposure, as well as preservation status of bone, dental tissue, and hair at micrometre scales.
Nordic climate researchers stronger together
Thanks to an EU open science program, the climate researchers in each Nordic country do not need to create their models of the Nordic climate system from scratch.
URAN solves cloud services issues caused by the increased demand for virtual machines during the war
Numerous universities were able to take advantage of the free cloud services offered by URAN, but the increased demand led to an unforeseen crisis caused by disk storage overload in the NREN’s data centre.
Scientific computing contributes to superconductivity
Through a combination of new theory and raw computing power, at team at King’s College London is able to support development of superconducting materials. NRENs provide the necessary data transfer.
