Protein design and structure prediction wins chemistry Nobel prize. By Jamie Durrani. David Baker, Demis Hassabis and John Jumper were rewarded for creating computational tools to design proteins and predict their structures that have ‘revolutionised biological chemistry’.
Twenty ways AI is advancing chemistry | News | Chemistry World
1 day ago · With the awarding of the Nobel prize in physics to the development of neural networks and half of the chemistry Nobel for using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict protein structure last week, it’s clear that this technology is already making waves in science. AI is also reshaping the chemical industry in profound ways, with analysts predicting that its impact will surpass even …
Catalyst uses electricity to convert carbon dioxide into methane
3 days ago · Catalyst uses electricity to convert carbon dioxide into methane. By Rupali Dabas 16 October 2024. Bookmark. A highly-efficient cobalt terpyridine-based catalyst has been developed that can convert carbon dioxide into methane. The catalyst operates at the gas-liquid-solid interface improving efficiency, offering a way to turn a waste product ...
This year’s chemistry Nobel proves it’s hard to make predictions
1 day ago · In the end, it took about 8 years. Demis Hassabis, who founded DeepMind and led the team behind AlphaGo, went on to build the protein structure prediction program Alphafold with his Google colleague John Jumper, and for that work the pair picked up one half of this year’s Nobel prize in chemistry. The other half went to David Baker, for his ...
Atom-swapping reaction turns furans into pyrroles | Research ...
4 days ago · By taking inspiration from a 1971 study that used ultraviolet light to convert furan to N-propylpyrrole in a 3% yield, 2 Park applied a commercially available acridinium photocatalyst and blue light to oxidise the furan ring. ‘The problem was that the starting material, the five-membered ring, is regarded as an electron-rich compound and the amine is also electron rich, …

Not just batteries: The chemistry of electric cars
Apr 24, 2022 · The internal combustion engine is not dead, but it may be beginning to die. One of the few bold steps taken at the November 2021 Cop26 climate conference in Glasgow, UK, was a declaration on phasing out sales of petrol and diesel cars by 2040 in all markets and by 2035 in leading ones: many European countries have set earlier dates, with the UK opting for 2030.
New definition of electronegativity fixes flaws left by Linus …
Apr 14, 2021 · Researchers in Russia have modified the formula for the fundamental concept of electronegativity, making it more useful for predicting other aspects of chemistry. Artem Oganov and Christian Tantardini from Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, Moscow, made a simple-looking change to the equation originally devised by Linus Pauling in 1932. The new …
