Imagine a machine so powerful it can process 400 quadrillion operations per second—Georgia Tech just got $20M from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to build Nexus, a next-gen AI supercomputer. This beast isn’t just a tech toy; it’s set to turbocharge research in medicine, clean energy, brain science, robotics, and climate modeling across the U.S.
Announced in July 2025, Nexus is a collab with the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) to create a national AI computing network.
“Nexus will empower researchers to tackle some of the most complex challenges facing humanity,” said a Georgia Tech spokesperson.
Tech experts are buzzing, with Forbes calling it a ‘game-changer’ for AI-driven scientific discovery.
Could Nexus unlock cures for diseases or save our planet from climate collapse? This supercomputer might just be the key to our future—share your thoughts on what breakthrough you’d want it to solve first!
