Open-source software unlocks rapid DNA structure generation and analysis in one workflow

Open-source software unlocks rapid DNA structure generation and analysis in one workflow Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Computational chemists at the University of Amsterdam's Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences have developed a comprehensive software suite to create accurate models of DNA in biomolecular assemblies. Called MDNA, the user-friendly molecular modeling toolkit helps biochemists, molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, and biophysicists to...

Canadian forest fires are losing their climate cooling power, says study

Canadian forest fires are losing their climate cooling power, says study Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Diminishing periods of snow cover in northern forests, shortened by climate change, are poised to disrupt a delicate balance in some of the planet's most climate-sensitive regions—according to new research from McMaster University, VU Amsterdam, and the Woodwell Climate Research Center. Historically, carbon emissions from northern forest fires were counteracted...

Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics

Declaration text Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics Preamble Technological developments have repeatedly transformed the practice of mathematics. Recent artificial intelligence technologies, including symbolic and neural methods for the generation and formalization of mathematics, may already have initiated a significant chapter in this long history. Among researchers, artificial intelligence has produced a wide range of reactions: enthusiasm for its potential to...

Heading a soccer ball just once is enough to raise levels of proteins associated with brain damage

Heading a soccer ball just once is enough to raise levels of proteins associated with brain damage Amateur male soccer players had greater changes in certain blood markers associated with neural damage the harder and more frequently they headed balls. Heading a soccer ball just once is enough to temporarily release proteins into the blood that are associated with damage to brain cells, a new study suggests. For two of the six proteins tracked, their levels rose higher the more frequently and...

Huge study of Alzheimer’s genetics identifies new drug targets

The biggest genetic study of Alzheimer’s disease so far has identified 127 gene locations that are associated with the condition, of which 48 are new. The study also pinpoints several genes that could be prioritised as drug targets and cell types linked to a higher genetic risk of the condition. “It’s an exciting time for Alzheimer’s genetics,” says Rudolph Tanzi at Massachusetts General Hospital, who provided evidence of the first Alzheimer’s-linked gene, APP, in 1987.

In situ nanocrystal confinement for efficient blue perovskite LEDs

Abstract Metal halide perovskites have emerged as promising semiconductors for light-emitting diodes (LEDs) owing to their excellent luminescence properties1. However, their performance remains limited, primarily owing to the inherent contradiction between ‘high crystallinity’ and ‘small size’ in the in situ synthesis of perovskite nanocrystals on substrates. Here we report efficient blue perovskite LEDs (PeLEDs) achieved via in situ polymerization-driven nanocrystal confinement to...
