Variational quantum algorithms could help researchers improve the performance of optical atomic clocks and of other quantum-metrology schemes.
Deep-learning algorithms such as AlphaFold2 and RoseTTAFold can now predict a protein’s 3D shape from its linear sequence — a huge boon to structural biologists.
A new theory suggests that searches for molecular complexity could uncover convincing evidence of extraterrestrial life, and soon.
Researchers from Princeton University, the Flatiron Institute in New York, and Jožef Stefan Institue in Slovenia have recently carried out a study investigating clonal dominance in the egg chamber of the fruit fly. Their findings suggest that clonal dominance can emerge spontaneously in excitable cell networks.
