New materials
New materials: their properties, how they are made and where they will be used.
- Salogels store more than twice as much heat as paraffin
Researchers at Texas A&M University developed salogels that absorb heat during melting and release it during solidification, offering a new method to reduce building energy consumption.
- Wei Min's team showed microplastics react with proteins
A study by Wei Min's team at Columbia University found that microplastics are not chemically inert and produce reactive oxygen species that damage proteins, lipids, and DNA.
- Google Antigravity accelerates antimicrobial peptide discovery
The Google Antigravity platform unified millions of proteins in the UniProt database to rapidly identify new antibiotics. The ProtNLM model predicted the peptide's activity against respiratory tract pathogens.
- Calculated magnet with opposing atomic spins
A team of AI agents and the author designed one candidate magnet and found another, first made in 1999, that calculations predict has the desired properties.
