How can cleaner engines, recyclable fuels, and better battery materials be developed without costly trial-and-error experiments? Researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen used the HAWK supercomputer to recreate combustion and particle formation processes in unprecedented detail. Their simulations explored hydrogen combustion in engines, recyclable iron fuels, cleaner coal and ammonia combustion, and the formation of nanoparticles for advanced batteries. The project also helped prepare scientific software for the next generation of supercomputers, opening new opportunities for sustainable energy and industrial technologies.
