Supercomputers are capable of a mind-boggling number of calculations and one of them just found a flaw in a piece of technology that is used around the world.

Jet engines are built to terrifyingly tight tolerances, yet the latest simulations on the world’s first exascale supercomputer suggest their biggest weakness may be measured in micrometers.

Researchers using the Frontier supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have identified aerothermal flaws in jet engine turbine blades that conventional simulation methods could not detect. The ...
