The companies of LAB14 operate under a shared organizational structure that enables closer coordination in…...

3+ mon, 3+ week ago  (738+ words) Generative artificial intelligence models have been used to create enormous libraries of theoretical materials that could help solve all kinds of problems. Now, scientists just have to figure out how to make them. In many cases, materials synthesis is not…...

9+ mon, 3+ week ago  (381+ words) Designing a tool to track cells in space and time "We used computational modeling to design the tool from first principles, to make sure that it was highly accurate, and compatible with imaging technology. We ran many simulations to land…...

1+ mon, 2+ week ago  (362+ words) A significant challenge for researchers in materials science and drug discovery is that even the most minor change to a molecule's structure can completely alter its function. Historically, making these adjustments meant researchers had to re-synthesize the target molecule from…...

3+ day, 18+ hour ago  (657+ words) Among all of the possible chemical compounds, it's estimated that between 1020and 1060may hold potential as small-molecule drugs. Evaluating each of those compounds experimentally would be far too time-consuming for chemists. So, in recent years, researchers have begun using artificial intelligence to…...

4+ day, 18+ hour ago  (881+ words) In the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs) could fly through a collapsed building to map the scene, giving rescuers information they need to quickly reach survivors." But this remains an extremely challenging problem for an autonomous…...

On April 9, the center gathered researchers, entrepreneurs, clinicians, industry…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago  (291+ words) Oxygen is a cornerstone of chemistry, largely because it is so good at building the organic molecules that make up our world. Some oxygen-based compounds, called peroxides, are famous for being highly reactive " they act like oxygen delivery trucks, transferring…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago  (684+ words) It's been 37 years since scientists'first demonstrated the ability to move single atoms, suggesting the possibility of designing materials atom by atom to customize their properties. Today there are several techniques that allow researchers to move individual atoms in order to…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago  (657+ words) Quantum computers could someday solve pressing problems that are too convoluted for classical computers, such as modeling complex molecular interactions to streamline drug discovery and materials development." But to build a superconducting quantum computer that is large and resilient enough…...
