A faster, more reliable method for simulating the plasmas used to make computer chips

Plainsboro NJ (SPX) May 26, 2025

Plasma - the electrically charged fourth state of matter - is at the heart of many important industrial processes, including those used to make computer chips and coat materials. Simulating those plasmas can be challenging, however, because millions of math operations must be performed for thousands of points in the simulation, many times per second. Even with the world's fastest supercomputers,
