Researchers from the University of Southern California, Caltech and Purdue University, led by USC's Priya Vashishta, are studying how materials fail as a result of mechanical stresses and harsh chemical environments. In their system, a finite-element simulation (left) would invoke a molecular simulation (center), which in turn would call up an electronic-level quantum simulation (right) to simulate bonds breaking, forming and reacting with environmental molecules.

A map of the North American distribution of house finches during the winter of 2002-2003. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology's Project FeederWatch has amassed one of the largest data sets of North American bird distribution in existence, and lab researchers and Cornell computer scientists are using it to explore techniques for estimating the abundance of wild bird populations across North America.
