How are computational sciences advancing different fields of study?

"Computational sciences have become a fundamental tool of almost every discipline. Scholars have used textual analysis and data mining techniques to analyze classical literature and historic texts, providing new insights and opening new areas of study. Astrophysicists have used computational analysis to detect dozens of new exoplanets. Complex visualizations and models can predict astronomical collisions on a galactic scale. Physicists have used big data analytics to push the boundaries of our understanding of matter in the search for the Higgs boson and study of elementary particles. Chemists simulate the interaction of millions of combinations of compounds without the need for expensive and time consuming physical experiments. Biologists use massively distributed computing models to simulate protein folding and other complex processes. Meteorologists can predict weather and climactic changes with ever greater accuracy. Technology and data analytics have changed how political campaigns are run, how products are marketed and even delivered. Social networks can be data mined to track and predict the spread of flu epidemics."
