New Method Can Capture The Movement of Millions of Molecules In Real Time in 3D
New Method Can Capture The Movement of Millions of Molecules In Real Time in 3DThe human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, wages war in our bodies using a strategy evolved over millions of years that turns our own cellular machines against themselves. Despite massive strides in understanding the disease, there are still important gaps. For years, scientists at the University of Utah wished there was a way to visualize how the virus and its molecules interact with human cells in real time. So, a research group developed one.
Spin on Perovskite Research Advances Potential for Quantum Computing
Spin on Perovskite Research Advances Potential for Quantum ComputingThe next generation of information technology could take advantage of spintronics—electronics that use the minuscule magnetic fields emanating from spinning electrons as well as the electric charges of the electrons themselves—for faster, smaller electronic devices that use less energy. Newly published work by scientists at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and the University of Utah may figure into the future success of spin-based electronics.
