Supercomputers help supercharge protein assembly

Using proteins derived from jellyfish, scientists assembled a complex sixteen protein structure composed of two stacked octamers by supercharging alone. This research could be applied to useful technologies such as pharmaceutical targeting, artificial energy harvesting, 'smart' sensing and building materials, and more. Computational modeling through XSEDE allocations on Stampede2 (TACC) and Comet (SDSC) refined measurements of structure. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190329171423.htm

Quantum optical cooling of nanoparticles

One important requirement to see quantum effects is to remove all thermal energy from the particle motion, i.e. to cool it as close as possible to absolute zero temperature. Researchers are now one step closer to reaching this goal by demonstrating a new method for cooling levitated nanoparticles. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190329130203.htm
