Efficient exploration of sequence space enables rapid generation of functional genome editors

The problem of how protein sequences translate into defined functions remains largely unsolved despite decades of progress. New methods to efficiently explore protein sequence space will help to shed light on these sequence-function relationships, particularly for complex protein function. Here, we describe an approach to create novel, functional proteins through the integration of deep…

Scientists map the microscopic roots of chaos in dusty plasma using supercomputer simulations

Research Matters Staff Writer(s) Jammu 17 Aug 2026 Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in understanding the chaotic world of turbulence by tracking the movement of millions of individual particles in a specialised state of matter known as dusty plasma.

  • Scientists map microscopic origins of turbulence in dusty plasma using supercomputer simulations.
  • Understanding dusty plasma turbulence could improve plasma containment in nuclear fusion reactors.
