Our Sun's swirling flow This NASA supercomputer simulation shows the strength of the turbulent motions of the Sun’s inner layers as materials twist into its atmosphere. The more saturated and bright reds represent the most vigorous upward or downward twisting motions. Clear areas represent areas where there are only relatively slow up-flows, with very little twisting. The data-driven animation helps scientists better understand the Sun and what phenomena drive the patterns of its activity. Learn

GPS Pioneer Dr. Gladys West Dies at 95 Dr. Gladys West, the brilliant mathematician whose groundbreaking work made modern GPS technology possible, died January 17, 2026, at age 95. Born on a Virginia tobacco farm in 1930 during Jim Crow segregation, West became valedictorian, earned mathematics degrees, and in 1956 became the second Black woman hired at the Naval Surface Warfare Center. For 42 years, she developed complex algorithms using the IBM 7030 supercomputer to create precise geodetic mod

In 1983, China's first supercomputer "Yinhe-1", which could perform more than 100 million calculations per second, was successfully developed. China became the third country, after the US and Japan, to independently design and manufacture a supercomputer. | CGTN Global Watch | Facebook
