Researchers at Hokkaido University in Japan have developed a technique called Virtual Ligand-Assisted Optimization, or VLAO, to enhance the design and effectiveness of ligands, which are important ...

A more environmentally-friendly and sustainable method of producing the useful chemical 1,2,4-butanetriol has been discovered. The Kobe University team were the first in the world to utilize a method ...

Researchers discovered that the distance between dislocations in nanolayer interfaces of pearlite can determine how much the material can stretch or contract without breaking (ductility). The ...

We’ll guide engineering into the future with new tools and methodologies. How engineers work in the field is changing, and it’s changing quickly. Now is the time to define how engineers will drive the ...

Every graduate student, creative person and inventor of any stripe has experienced periods when nothing seems to come together, some of us many times. I was waist-deep in such pit after a year-long ...

This study proposes an integrated framework that combines Axiomatic Design with Model-Based Systems Engineering, incorporating NSGA-II as an intelligent optimization engine. The framework constructs a ...

Exogenous pathway optimization and chassis engineering are two crucial methods for heterologous pathway expression. The two methods are normally carried out step-wise ...

"Learning is one of the most personal things that people do; engineering provides problem-solving methods to enable learning at scale. How do we resolve this paradox?" —Ellen Wagner Learning ...

What is reverse engineering? Tools used to reverse engineer a PCB. Specifics about de-layering Printed-circuit-board (PCB) reverse engineering is a method of analyzing and understanding the design ...

University of Texas at Dallas biomedical engineering doctoral student Medel B. Lim Suan Jr.; Dr. Faruck Morcos, associate professor of biological sciences; and Dr. P.C. Dave Dingal, assistant ...

Researchers have found a simple method for identifying nanobodies with drug-like properties suitable for preventing SARS-CoV-2 infections. They demonstrated the approach by generating nanobodies that ...
