Over the past two years, machine learning has revolutionized protein structure prediction. Now there’s a similar revolution in protein design. Biologists show that machine learning can be used to create… Read More »Beyond AlphaFold: A.I. excels at creating new proteins
Researchers have considered how flooding from rising sea levels and storm surges will damage the built environment along the coast, but what about climate change’s less noticeable impacts below the… Read More »Climate change from the ground up: Researchers explore sea level rise impact on building foundations
A small team of researchers at Beijing Normal University working with a colleague from Bar-Ilan University has found that researchers who collaborate with other researchers in multiple research areas tend… Read More »Researchers who collaborate with others in multiple research areas found to publish more highly cited papers
Losing energy is rarely a good thing, but now, researchers in Japan have shown how to extend the applicability of thermodynamics to systems that are not in equilibrium. By encoding… Read More »Feeling out of equilibrium in a dual geometric world: A novel theory for nonlinear dissipative phenomena
The boa constrictor’s choke hold is an iconic animal attack. Once coiled around its prey, in mere minutes a snake can squeeze the life out of a victim. The boa… Read More »How boa constrictors squeeze their prey without strangling themselves
