Supercomputer calculates the mass of the nucleon - An international team of scientists has for the first time computed the masses of one of the most important constituents of matter - protons and neutrons. The tool which contributed the most to this calculation: JUGENE, a supercomputer at the Jülich research cerntre in Germany. The elaborate simulations confirm a fundamental theory of physics, quantum chromodynamics.

Science: what is the origin of the visible mass of the universe?
