Uncle Sam to put Aurora supercomputer to work on catalyst conundrums
While scientists put Aurora through its paces, researchers at Stony Brook University are using the Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to explore another peculiar phenomenon: cicada wings.
The implications being that if you can replicate this behavior, scientists could develop new antibacterial materials. Unfortunately, while research shows that this has something to do with the naturally occurring microstructures found on the insect's wings, and have even been able to recreate the effect, what exactly makes them so deadly to microbial life has proven illusive.
They revealed that the micropillars found on cicada wings attract the bacteria, putting the membrane under enough tension that it ruptures, killing the cell in the process.
