Physics Graduations - 24 July
Congratulations to all of our undergraduate and postgraduate students who received their degrees on 24 July!
Predictable aspects of the variable likelihood of extreme space weather events
Solar activity drives Earth’s space weather. Each solar cycle has a different intensity but we found cycle invariant properties constraining the chance of space storms which affect systems at Earth.
Touching proteins with virtual bare hands
The ability to precisely visualize the atomic geometry of the interactions between a drug and its protein target in structural models is critical in predicting the correct modifications in previously identified inhibitors to create more effective next generation drugs. We have combined VR visualization with fast algorithms for simulating intramolecular motions of protein flexibility, in an effort to further improve structure-led drug design by exposing molecular interactions that might be hidden in the less informative static models.
