     • Theoretical chemists at Rutgers University use Alliance resources to
       search for the elusive mechanism of one of the world's most proficient enzymes.
     • Ban the Bomb Computational models of laser-aided chemical etching,
       completed on NCSA's SGI Origin2000, open the door for new methods
       of fabricating microelectromechanical machines.
     • Birth of a Titan NCSA finds that the key to bringing the world's
       largest Itanium Linux Cluster online is actually people.
     • Putting the Grid in NEESgrid Grid computing provides the backbone for a
       distributed virtual laboratory for experimentation and simulation in
       earthquake engineering.
     • Modeling Molecular Fate SUNY scientists examine the chemical reactions
       that give rise to excessive atmospheric ozone.
     • Mixed Emulsions Virginia Tech researchers simulate the behavior of
       emulsions as they mix and break into drops.
     • Caterpillar's Metamorphosis Caterpillar garners the NCSA Private Sector
       Program's 2002 Industrial Grand Challenge Award, honoring more than a
       decade of breakthroughs.
     • Dynamic DNA Molecular dynamics simulations on an Alliance cluster help
       biochemists understand how damaged DNA is recognized by a cell's genetic
       repair system.
     • Marks of Extinction During the late Permian periodroughly 260 million
       years agoat least 90 percent of Earth's species vanished, never to be seen
       again. Researchers use Alliance resources to explore why.
     • Shedding Light on Dark Matter Massive computer simulations are giving
       scientists clues to the nature of dark matter.
