Scientists have discovered a new type of chemical bond thanks to the Abe and Ember supercomputers at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Not only because new chemical bonds mean new materials or products that could change the world, but because it shows exactly how supercomputers and big data are becoming the microscope of the future. via GigaOM
