Human sight depends on an organized choreography of the retina with its cone and rods cells, the optic nerve, the brain’s visual cortex and light – be it a sunny day or a dark, star-studded night.
Remarkably, in extremely poor illumination conditions, the retina can still perceive intensities corresponding to only a few photons. Rod rhodopsins enable this high sensitivity.
At The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC), cancer researchers turn to the multifunctional Nucleic Acid Shared Resource (NASR) Illumina Core to analyze genomic and epigenomic influences on the disease – and indirectly, the Ohio Supercomputer Center.
Researchers at The Ohio State University’s Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) are using sophisticated scanners and powerful supercomputers to study how vitamin E can be used to reduce the extent of brain injury suffered by stroke patients.

Scientific computing is credited for many of the technological breakthroughs of our generation and is used in many fields, ranging from drug discovery and aerospace to weather prediction and seismic analysis. Scientific computation often deals with very large amounts of data, and its algorithms need to compute results from mathematical models.
Scientists at The Ohio State University (OSU) are working to develop a drug that will regenerate a critical enzyme that “ages” after a person is exposed to deadly chemical warfare agents.
The understanding of surface reconstructions has become essential as scientists seek to develop materials with tailored properties. For instance, researchers over the past few years have been searching for a process to mass-produce circuits using a material called graphene – a one-atom-thick layer of graphite – which displays unique electronic properties.
In huge tunnels below the Swiss-Franco border, the European Organization for Nuclear Research's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is operating at half of its peak energy goal of 14 TeV or 'teraelectronvolts.' With the assistance of detectors built into the collider, physicists are searching for answers to questions about the birth of the universe, the existence of alternate dimensions and other key f
A recently developed, evolutionary computation approach offers researchers an alternative approach to search for models that can best explain experimental data derived from applications such as economics. Esmail Bonakdarian, Ph.D., a Franklin University assistant professor of computing sciences and mathematics, leveraged Ohio Supercomputer Center resources to test the underlying algorithm.
The Center for Surveillance Research (CSR), a National Science Foundation Industry/ University Cooperative Research Center, is a collaborative effort by academia, government and industry to conduct pre-competitive research and student training.
