Science &Technology Review (September 2022)
Computer modeling is essential to scientific research. Models simulate natural phenomena to aid scientists in understanding their underlying principles. While the most complex models running on supercomputers may contain millions of lines of code and generate billions of data points, models never simulate reality perfectly. Experiments—in contrast—have been fundamental to the study of natural phenomena from science’s earliest days. However, some of today’s complex experiments generate too much data for the human mind to interpret.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists came together, leveraging many different disciplines and technologies to address this global challenge. Livermore focused on three areas of research: creating alternatives for medical equipment in short supply, such as ventilators and nasal swabs; developing methods to help detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for COVID-19; and designing medical countermeasures such as antibodies and antivirals to combat the disease.
