Neuronale Netze rechnen chemische Simulationen in Rekordzeit
Forschern an den Universitäten Wien und Göttingen ist es gelungen, eine auf künstlicher Intelligenz aufbauende Methode zur Vorhersage von molekularen Infrarotspektren zu entwickeln. Diese chemischen “Fingerabdrücke” konnten von gängigen Vorhersagetechniken bislang nur für kleine Moleküle in hoher Qualität simuliert werden. (more…)
It was a typical balmy September afternoon in the coastal city of Vishakhapatnam. But little did Dr. Meghana Kambham know that her life and potentially those of hundreds of thousands of school children would change that day. (more…)
If you could save the lives of five people by pushing another bystander in front of a train to his death, would you do it? And should it make any difference if that choice is presented in a language you speak, but isn’t your native tongue? (more…)
Ein Kasseler Professor für Volkswirtschaftslehre hat einen Kriminalroman veröffentlicht. Der jetzt erschienene Band „Geldgerinnung“ von Björn Frank verwebt einen packenden Plot mit ökonomischen Theorien. (more…)
WASHINGTON — Earth’s largest inland body of water has been slowly evaporating for the past two decades due to rising temperatures associated with climate change, according to a new study led by The University of Texas at Austin. (more…)
Neues EU-Projekt will die umweltfreundliche Produktion komplexer Moleküle für Medizin und Industrie vorantreiben
Seit Jahrmillionen produzieren Pflanzen nachhaltig und preiswert hochkomplexe Moleküle aus einfachen chemischen Grundbausteinen. Viele dieser chemischen Substanzen werden heute in der Medizin und in der Parfümindustrie genutzt. (more…)
UCLA researchers’ analysis of web posts shows coping mechanisms ranging from rejection to reinterpretation
A new study by UCLA researchers reveals the range of reactions — from rejection to reinterpretation to acceptance — after white nationalists learn that DNA ancestry test results indicate they may not be as white or European as they previously thought. (more…)
Like much of the rest of the body, the brain loses flexibility with age, impacting the ability to learn, remember and adapt. Now, scientists at University of Utah Health report they can rejuvenate the plasticity of the mouse brain, specifically in the visual cortex, increasing its ability to change in response to experience. Manipulating a single gene triggers the shift, revealing it as a potential target for new treatments that could recover the brain’s youthful potential. (more…)
