'Virtual virus' unfolds the flu on a CPU

By combining experimental data from X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, cryoelectron microscopy and lipidomics (the study of cellular lipid networks), researchers at the University of Oxford have built a complete model of the outer envelope of an influenza A virion for the first time. The approach, known as a coarse-grained molecular dynamics...

Boosting oil extraction with nanotechnology

Researchers from Sahand University of Technology and Islamic Azad University studied the effect of using nanoparticles on increasing oil extraction from reservoirs ("Experimental Study of the Nanoparticles Effect on Surfactant Absorption and Oil Recovery in One of the Iranian Oil Reservoirs"). According...
