In this issue of Scientific Computing World the content focuses on the ways that advanced computing technologies are changing the ways scientists conduct their research. From HPC centres to laboratories and engineering, computing technology is having a lasting impact and shifting the way that research is conducted. Whether it be AI driving new avenues in HPC, laboratory analysis, or how visualisation tools open up new possibilities in engineering – computing technologies are changing how research is conducted. The HPC coverage begins on page 4 with a feature taking a look at the value provided by integrators to support scientists. Next are two tech focus articles, on page 10 and 12 respectively, which take a look at cloud and server technologies. Next the topic shifts to exploring the roads that different organisations have taken to reach exascale, found on page 16. The final piece of HPC content for this issue on page 20 focuses on coverage of this year’s ISC conference. Page 24 kicks off the laboratory
