A Sticky-Spaghetti-with-Meatballs Model to Describe Nuclear Import
A sticky-spaghetti-with-meatballs model may be sufficient to describe how the nucleus in each of our cells selectively allows the entrance and exit of certain molecules, while blocking others to protect genetic material and normal functions of the cell. That is the...
Quantum magnets forced to ”chillax”
In what may provide a potential path to connecting data in a quantum computer, researchers have shown that excited atoms in silicon can be forced into a relaxed state on-demand using a device that serves as a microwave “tuning fork.” The team’s findings could...
Structures of two dimensional ice predicted by computer simulations
Scientists at UCL, including the LCN, and Cambridge have predicted new two-dimensional ice structures on the basis of state-of-the-art computer simulations. A systematic computer simulation study has led to predictions about how water molecules freeze into a single...
