Toward experiment-guided AlphaFold: Researchers overcome AI tool's single-conformation limitation

The AI-based program AlphaFold predicts a protein's 3D structure with remarkable accuracy. However, it tends to reduce heterogeneous structures to a single dominant conformation, or shape, and ...

Nanopattern method unlocks precise control of disorder for wave-guiding devices

A research team has developed a methodology to precisely design and control the "degree of disorder" in nanopattern arrays using metal-infiltrated block copolymer (BCP) thin films. The work was led by ...
