Synthesizing Triatomic Molecules Under Quantum Constraints

Posted by in categories: energy, quantum physics

Radio-Frequency Pulse Enables Association of Triatomic Molecules in Ultracold 23 Na40 K + 40 K Gas.

Three-body system is already formidable in classical physics, not to mention the quantum state three-body system. But what if scientists can synthesize triatomic molecules under quantum constraints? It could serve as an appropriate platform to study three-body potential energy surface which is important but difficult to calculate.

Recently, Prof. PAN Jianwei and Prof. ZHAO Bo from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), collaborating with Prof. BAI Chunli from Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, found strong evidence for association of triatomic molecules after applying a radio-frequency (rf) pulse to an ultracold mixture of 23 Na40 K and 40 K near Feshbach resonance. The work was published in the journal Nature.

MIT Chemists Discover Structure of Protein That Pumps Toxic Molecules Out of Bacterial Cells

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

MIT chemists have discovered how the structure of the EmrE transporter changes as a compound moves through it. At left is the transporter structure at high pH. As the pH drops (right), the helices begin to tilt so that the channel is more open toward the outside of the cell, guiding the compound out. Credit: Courtesy of the researchers.

A new study sheds light on how a protein pumps toxic molecules out of bacterial cells.

MIT chemists have discovered the structure of a protein that can pump toxic molecules out of bacterial cells. Proteins similar to this one, which is found in E. coli, are believed to help bacteria become resistant to multiple antibiotics.

A new machine-learning technique can pinpoint potential power grid failures and cascading traffic bottlenecks, in real time.

A new machine-learning technique could pinpoint potential power grid failures or cascading traffic bottlenecks in real time.

Identifying a malfunction in the nation’s power grid can be like trying to find a needle in an enormous haystack. Hundreds of thousands of interrelated sensors spread across the U.S. capture data on electric current, voltage, and other critical information in real time, often taking multiple recordings per second.

Artificial intelligence listens to the sound of healthy machines

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Sounds provide important information about how well a machine is running. ETH researchers have now developed a new machine learning method that automatically detects whether a machine is “healthy” or requires maintenance.

Whether railway wheels or generators in a power plant, whether pumps or valves—they all make sounds. For trained ears, these noises even have a meaning: devices, machines, equipment or rolling stock differently when they are functioning properly compared to when they have a defect or fault.
