A manual for engineering spin dynamics in nanomagnets
May 04, 2023 (Nanowerk News) An international team of researchers at the University of California, Riverside, and the Institute of Magnetism in Kyiv, Ukraine, has developed a comprehensive manual for engineering spin dynamics in nanomagnets – an important step toward advancing spintronic and quantum-information technologies. Despite their small size, nanomagnets...
In a first, astronomers spot a star swallowing a planet
May 04, 2023 (Nanowerk News) As a star runs out of fuel, it will billow out to a million times its original size, engulfing any matter — and planets — in its wake. Scientists have observed hints of stars just before, and shortly after, the act of consuming entire planets,...
Researchers use generative AI to design novel proteins
May 04, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed an artificial intelligence system that can create proteins not found in nature using generative diffusion, the same technology behind popular image-creation platforms such as DALL-E and Midjourney. The system will help advance the field of generative biology,...
Engineering molecular interactions with machine learning
May 04, 2023 (Nanowerk News) In 2019, scientists in the joint School of Engineering and School of Life Sciences Laboratory of Protein Design and Immunoengineering (LPDI) led by Bruno Correia developed MaSIF: a machine learning-driven method for scanning millions of protein surfaces within minutes to analyze their structure and functional...
A 3D printed sweat analysis health monitoring device
May 04, 2023 (Nanowerk News) Sweat is more than just a sign of a good workout. It holds vital information about our health, providing clues to dehydration, fatigue, blood sugar levels and even serious conditions such as cystic fibrosis, diabetes and heart failure. Researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at...
