ARCHER2 is the latest iteration of the UK National Supercomputing Service, and enables scientists to simulate the world around us in ways that are often impossible (or far too expensive) to study with physical experiments. ARCHER2 is regularly used to study topics such as how jet engines can be made more efficient, how we can design better nuclear reactors, how new drugs might work, how viruses spread, and the effects of climate change to name just a small few.

At our stand we will have a virtual reality science museum with a range of VR videos showcasing some of the recent scientific outputs from ARCHER2 and other supercomputers. We will also have postcards on display showcasing the winners of the ARCHER2 image competition, a yearly prize given to the best visualisations of research done using ARCHER2.
