Collaboration Speeds Complex Chemical Modeling
A recent collaboration among researchers from HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics in Hungary and the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, along with industry collaborators SandboxAQ and NVIDIA, has achieved unprecedented speed and performance in efforts to model complex metal-containing molecules.
New light-induced material shows powerful potential for quantum applications
Argonne researchers recently discovered a way to control electronic bonding in a semiconducting material using light and magnetic fields, paving the way toward new quantum devices.
Wayne State University professor receives NSF grant to study quantum tunneling
A Wayne State University professor recently received a three-year, $626,467 grant from the National Science Foundation’s Division of Physics. The project, “Probing Nonadiabatic Strong Field Ionization with Phase-Resolved Attoclock,” will research a quantum mechanical process known as quantum tunneling.
How Scientists Are Accelerating Chemistry Discoveries With Automation
Researchers have developed an automated workflow that could accelerate the discovery of new pharmaceutical drugs and other useful products. The new approach could enable real-time reaction analysis and identify new chemical-reaction products much faster than current laboratory methods.
Discovery may lead to terahertz technology for quantum sensing
Visible light is a mere fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the manipulation of light waves at frequencies beyond human vision has enabled such technologies as cell phones and CT scans. Rice University researchers have a plan for leveraging a previously unused portion of the spectrum.
How Argonne is pushing the boundaries of quantum technology research
With its Department of Energy National Quantum Information Science Research Center (Q-NEXT) and its quantum research team, Argonne is a hub for research that could change the way we process and transmit information.
Quantum engineers have designed a new tool to probe nature with extreme sensitivity
Associate Professor Jarryd Pla and his team from UNSW School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, together with colleague Scientia Professor Andrea Morello, described a new device that can measure the spins in materials with high precision.
Using light to connect molecules
One study, led by the Toker group from Bar-Ilan University in Israel, observed peptide bond formation in clusters containing four serine dipeptides that were heated up by collisions. However, they found no evidence for the same process occurring in serine clusters. In that work they concluded that if two serine molecules can bind together to form a dipeptide, then the next stages of polymerization could probably occur readily.

Machine Learning Speeds Molecular Motion Modeling
Molecular dynamics is central to many questions in modern chemistry. However, computer models of molecular dynamics must balance computational cost and accuracy. Scientists have now used a machine learning technique called transfer learning to create a novel model of molecular motion that is as accurate as calculations that use quantum-mechanical physics but much faster.
Freezing Out Chemical Reactions to Have a Closer Look in the Quantum Realm
Chemical reactions transform reactants to products through intermediate states. These intermediates are often short-lived, making them hard to study. But by bringing a molecule to a temperature barely above absolute zero, scientists can “trap” the reaction in the intermediate stage for a much longer time. In this study, scientists used photoionization to directly observe a reaction’s reactants and products.
