The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) has developed an AI-based mass spectrometric technique capable of determining the monomeric sequence of a polymer. This technique may be useful in gaining a deeper understanding of basic polymeric structures, facilitating the development of new materials and helping solve plastic recycling problems.
E-Mail IMAGE: The E. coli chromosome was split into three 1-Mb chromosomes, and the chromosome was used for genome implantation. view more Credit: Rikkyo University Escherichia coli ( E. coli) genome, consisting of 4.6 million base pairs of a single circular DNA, is too large to manipulate following the extraction and transfer to other bacteria. In the present study, a group of Rikkyo University researchers led by Assistant Professor Takahito Mukai and Professor Masayuki Su'etsugu has succeeded in splitting the E.coli genome into tripartite-genome of 1 million base pairs per geno...
E-Mail IMAGE: Mole fraction along the reaction time (s) calculated by the reactor simulation. The inlet gas consisted of CH4, O2, and He (as inert gas). The total pressure was set to... view more Credit: Atsushi Ishikawa Japanese researchers have developed a simulation method to theoretically estimate the performance of heterogeneous catalyst by combining first-principles calculation (1) and kinetic calculation techniques. Up to now, simulation studies mainly focused on a single or limited number of reaction pathways, and it was difficult to estimate the efficiency of a catalytic ...
