Continuous and Perfusion Bioprocessing: PAT Strategies for Steady-State Control
1+ week, 2+ day ago (397+ words) Fed-batch processes operate over a contained 10- to 14-day timeline, and periodic sampling is sufficient because each data point informs the next discrete feed decision. A perfusion bioreactor running for 30 or 60 days at steady state cannot be managed on that basis:…...
Ultra-Robust Machine-Learning Model Can Simulate Molecules at Extreme Temperatures
3+ mon, 1+ day ago (348+ words) Machine'learned potentials (MLPs) are widely used to approximate quantum mechanical behaviour in molecules, but most existing models become unstable when molecules experience heat, movement or structural distortion. This makes long, reliable simulations extremely difficult to achieve. The Manchester team " Bienfait…...
Machine-Learning Model Enables Ultra-Stable Molecular Simulations at Extreme Temperatures
5+ mon, 4+ week ago (428+ words) Researchers at The University of Manchester have created a groundbreaking physics'informed machine'learning model that can run molecular simulations for unprecedented lengths of time, even at temperatures as high as 1000 Kelvin. Machine'learned potentials (MLPs) are widely used to approximate quantum mechanical…...
Oyster Shell Material Helps Clean Up Water Polluted With Rare Earth Elements
3+ mon, 3+ day ago (347+ words) New research from a team at Trinity College Dublin has unearthed a cheap and environmentally friendly new option for removing pollutants from our water. The key? Oyster shells that would ordinarily end up in landfill sites after consumption. The research,…...
Materials Chemistry Innovations Powering Next-Generation Electrolyzers
3+ mon, 1+ week ago (793+ words) With the cost of producing hydrogen by electrolysis being 1. 56 times greater than steam reforming from fossil fuels, improving the economics of electrolysis will be key for the future widespread commercialization of this approach. 3 To address these challenges, Guo et al....
Compound Libraries and Screening Collections Explained
3+ mon, 1+ week ago (815+ words) Compound libraries form a foundational element of modern drug discovery'the process of identifying new chemical or biological compounds that can become safe and effective medicines. Compound libraries are systematically organized, large-scale collections of synthetic or natural chemical molecules used in…...
