Aurora Supercomputer Powers Record-Breaking Cosmological Simulations

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have utilized the Aurora supercomputer to execute two of the largest cosmological simulations in history. Each simulation mapped the evolution of 13.4 trillion dark matter particles over an expansive region spanning 28.6 billion light-years, marking a major milestone for high-performance computing in astrophysics.

Tiny Ancient Black Holes May Live in a Five-Dimensional World

Primordial black holes are hypothetical objects that scientists believe may have formed during the early universe rather than from dying stars. Researchers suggest these ancient phenomena could potentially comprise the mysterious dark matter that pervades the cosmos. Adding to this theoretical complexity, new studies explore how these black holes might have formed in a universe featuring a hidden extra spatial dimension known as a dark dimension.
