Pore-forming proteins in living cells, termed ion channels, are embedded in the outer membrane of almost all cell types and ...

A quantum computer has used a single atom to model the complex dynamics of organic molecules interacting with light ...

Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University (SBU) used artificial intelligence (AI) to help them understand how ...

We used what is called a trapped-ion quantum computer. This works by manipulating individual ... Our simulation, which used a laser and a single atom in the quantum computer, slowed these processes ...

When a molecule absorbs light, it undergoes a whirlwind of quantum-mechanical transformations. Electrons jump between energy ...

Nearly 50 years after the invention of the patch-clamp technique revolutionised our understanding of electrical signalling in cells, scientists have achieved a major milestone: accurately simulating ...

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain's neurons has a kind of 'molecular memory', which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories.

Scientists have developed a method to alter the color and brightness of rare earth element luminescence by changing their ...
