Elucidating the mechanism of coupled plasma fluctuations through simulation
Time evolution of the frequency spectrum of distribution functions and fluctuations of high-energy particles. In the initial state, the energy particle distribution function is mountain-like. There is a slope in the first region of variation where it starts to grow, and as the shape of the mountain changes, the slope of the distribution function becomes steeper in the second region…

Elucidating the mechanism by which weather conditions cause changes in the concentration of fine particles in the atmosphere
Graphical summary. Credit: Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.aosl.2024.100586 A new study published in the journal Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters reports major advances in the study of the relationship between weather conditions and atmospheric particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations. Air pollution is a major global issue, and PM2.5 is a serious pollutant. Fluctuations in PM2.5 concentration not only…

AI tools contribute to elucidating the enzyme mechanism of lasso peptides
Source: Nature Chemical Biology (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41589-024-01727-w Lasso peptides are natural substances made by bacteria. Their unusual shape gives them incredible stability, protecting them from harsh conditions. In a new study published in Nature Chemical Biology, researchers built and tested a model of how these peptides are made and showed how this information could be used to advance lasso peptide-based…
