The UN climate talks ended in deadlock. Is this really the best the world can manage? | Aruna Chandrasekhar
COP25 should have been about new science and ambitious targets. Instead, nations bickered and dodged responsibility Last week, a whistle rang out in a buzzing conference fairground on the edge of Madrid. Instantly, a swell of protesters rose up, determined to "bring in the streets and tear down the walls", enraged that the annual UN climate talks had wound to a grinding deadlock. Two days from a c

Gazing into crystal balls to advance understanding of crystal formation
Researchers at The University of Tokyo Institute of Industrial Science conducted simulations considering and neglecting hydrodynamic interactions to determine whether or not these interactions cause the large discrepancy observed between experimental and calculated nucleation rates for hard-sphere colloidal systems, which are used to model crystallization. The team obtained similar nucleation rate

Two closed ATP- and ADP-dependent conformations in yeast Hsp90 chaperone detected by Mn(II) EPR spectroscopic techniques [Biophysics and Computational Biology]
Hsp90 plays a central role in cell homeostasis by assisting folding and maturation of a large variety of clients. It is a homo-dimer, which functions via hydrolysis of ATP-coupled to conformational changes. Hsp90's conformational cycle in the absence of cochaperones is currently postulated as apo-Hsp90 being an ensemble of "open"/"closed"…

This Test for Machine Consciousness Has an Audience Problem – Facts So Romantic
