Visit us at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition at the Royal Society in London, 30th June to the 3rd July 2026 and find out all about Supercomputers. What’s good, what’s bad and what’s beautiful.

Supercomputers are vast computers that allow us to run large, complex and cutting-edge simulations that can’t be done elsewhere. Our exhibit will showcase the good, the bad and the beautiful about supercomputers:

Supercomputers are important as they help address the challenges we face around health, security and the planet.

• Explore our virtual reality science museum showcasing different scientific outputs from supercomputers.

Supercomputers are composed of very large numbers of computational cores, all working together to solve these challenges.

• Enjoy our hands on hook the duck activity demonstrating what a supercomputer is. Ideal for all ages.

The Data centres and supercomputers do have an impact on the environment and it is important for these centres to work to reduce this impact.

• Come and play our interactive computer game that simulates your own data centre, balancing finance, environmental cost and scientific output and benefit.
