Seeing plastic trash while hiking inspired a Rutgers chemist to rethink why synthetic plastics last forever while natural polymers don’t. By mimicking tiny structural features used in DNA and proteins ...

A new testing framework designed to evaluate AI's chemistry skills has revealed gaps in what today's most powerful models can and cannot do. A multidisciplinary team of chemists and computer ...

Biologists would love to know exactly what happens inside a cell, but measuring every cellular process simultaneously is impossible. That’s why they turn to simulations, like this one, which tracks ...

A joint research team between the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology (QIQB) at The University of Osaka and Fixstars Corporation has demonstrated one of the world's largest classical ...

Large-scale classical simulation of IQPE quantum circuits demonstrated in this work. Larger qubit counts and more Hamiltonian terms result in deeper circuits and longer simulation times. Osaka, Japan ...

Advanced AI models appear willing to deploy nuclear weapons without the same reservations humans have when put into simulated geopolitical crises. Kenneth Payne at King’s College London set three ...

How do you know anything is real? Some things you can see directly, like your fingers. Other things, like your chin, you need a mirror or a camera to see. Other things can’t be seen, but you believe ...

A simulation engine is a powerful tool that provides realistic approximations of physical systems. With maple-sim, we integrate the open-source Java rigid-body dynamics engine, dyn4j, capable of ...

A reaction scheme showing a hydrazone being converted into a diazo compound using an enzyme, potassium bromide, and hydrogen peroxide. Researchers at Emory University repurposed a vanadium-dependent ...

Researchers develop new system for high-energy-density, long-life, multi-electron transfer bromine-based flow batteries. Credit: DICP A new twist on bromine-based flow batteries could make large-scale ...
