Stockmayer Fluid with a Shifted Dipole: Interfacial Behavior
We investigate the properties of the liquid-vapor interface in the shifted Stockmayer fluid using molecular dynamics simulations in the canonical ensemble. We study the role of the dipole moment strength and the degree of asymmmetry on equilibrium interfacial characteristics, including density profiles, polar order, nematic order, interfacial polarization, electric field, and electrostatic potential. In addition, we compute angular distribution functions across the interface to gain insight int…

One billion-year-old rules of protein stability revealed; could lead to faster drug and enzyme design
Proteins are life's molecular workhorses, doing everything from turning sunlight into food to fighting viruses. They are built from 20 different types of amino acid molecules, so even a small protein made of 60 amino acids in length can, in theory, be constructed in a quinquavigintillion (1078) different ways. That's about as many atoms as there are in the entire universe.

Before plants or animals, fungi conquered Earth’s surface
Fungi’s evolutionary roots stretch far deeper than once believed — up to 1.4 billion years ago, long before plants or animals appeared. Using advanced molecular dating and gene transfer analysis, researchers reconstructed fungi’s ancient lineage, revealing they were crucial in shaping Earth’s first soils and ecosystems.

The mid-infrared spectrum of $β$ Pictoris b. First VLTI/MATISSE interferometric observations of an exoplanet
Few spectra of directly-imaged exoplanets have been obtained in the mid-infrared (> 3 $μ$m). This region is particularly rich in molecular spectral signatures, whose measurements can help recover atmospheric parameters and provide a better understanding of giant planet formation and atmospheric dynamics. In the past years, exoplanet interferometry with the VLTI/GRAVITY instrument has provided medium-resolution spectra of a dozen substellar companions in the near infrared. The 100-meter interfe…

Probing the Physics of Dusty Outflows through Complex Organic Molecules in the Early Universe
Galaxy-scale outflows are of critical importance for galaxy formation and evolution. Dust grains are the main sites for the formation of molecules needed for star formation but are also important for the acceleration of outflows that can remove the gas reservoir critical for stellar mass growth. Using the MIRI medium-resolution integral field spectrograph aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), we detect the 3.28 $μ$m aromatic and the 3.4 $μ$m aliphatic hydrocarbon dust features in abso…

Improving VQE Parameter Quality on Noisy Quantum Processors with Cost-Effective Readout Error Mitigation
The inherent noise in current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices presents a major obstacle to the accurate implementation of quantum algorithms such as the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) for quantum chemistry applications. This study examines the impact of error mitigation strategies on VQE performance. We show that, for small molecular systems, an older-generation 5-qubit quantum processing unit (IBMQ Belem), when combined with optimized Twirled Readout Error Extinction (T-…

@… @… It’s somewhat tragic-comic how the answer to “How do we handle large-scale refactoring?” Is “Don’t do them”.
