The emergence of the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pathogen, warrants the need for collaborative ...

The objective of the EFRI project led by Daniela Rus of MIT is to create computational materials whose properties can be programmed to achieve specific shapes and/or mechanical properties, such as ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique to control self-folding three-dimensional (3-D) structures. Specifically, the researchers use templates to constrain ...

On Tuesday, Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs announced a significant progress update on the next iteration of AlphaFold, the deep learning model that in 2020 cracked the problem of predicting a ...

Stimuli-responsive, self-folding, two-dimensional (2-D) layered materials have interesting functions for flexible electronics, wearables, biosensors, and photonics applications. However, limits with ...

Researchers report having observed the RNA folding structures of the SARS-CoV2 genome with which the virus controls the infection process. Since these structures are very similar among various beta ...

Researchers report a method for designing biomimetic deployable structures based on earwig wings. Earwig wings are capable of extreme compactness when fully folded, reaching packing areas of ...

The Alphabet-owned company DeepMind has massively increased the number of predicted protein structures available to researchers through a free database. The release, on July 28, boosted the number of ...

Researchers have developed a new technique to control self-folding three-dimensional (3D) structures. Specifically, the researchers use templates to constrain deformation in certain selected areas on ...
