Supercomputers find a way of making 'imitation graphene' from salt

The text from nextbigfuture is a copy of the press release at http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2016-07/miop-sfa07291... .

That in turn is a subset of the original press release at https://mipt.ru/english/news/physicists_use_supercomputers_t... . Which also contains more information.

I suggest the link be updated to https://mipt.ru/english/news/physicists_use_supercomputers_t... .

The actual paper is 10.1021/acs.jpclett.6b01214 . I was interested in knowing what supercomputer they used. According to the acknowledgements:

> Calculations were made on 'Chebyshev' and 'Lomonosov' supercomputers of the Moscow State University for the possibility of using a cluster computer for our simulations and on the supercomputer cluster "Cherry" provided by the Materials Modeling and Development Laboratory at NUST "MISIS" (supported via the Grant from the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation No. 14.Y26.31.0005).

http://www.t-platforms.com/solutions/completed/chebyshev-sup... and http://www.t-platforms.com/solutions/completed/lomonosov-sup... give details of the first two machines. Indeed, they are high-end machines.

Yet another reason to fund bigger and badder supercomputers :). No self interest here, none whatsoever.
