As HPC becomes more widely used to solve hard scientific and industrial problems, many sites have difficulty keeping up with demand for compute and storage. AWS has a wide range of services and tools to stretch workloads from on-premises infrastructure to the cloud.

Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), whose creators won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2017, allows scientists to generate high-resolution images and video of the structures of proteins, compounds, and other matter. Pharmaceutical companies can use this information to guide their research in developing new drug candidates.
