Protein folding physics modeled at the atomic level
DOE/Los Alamos National LaboratoryPeer-Reviewed Publication
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the University of California, San Diego, have created the first computer simulation of full-system protein folding thermodynamics at the atomic-level. Understanding the basic physics of protein folding could solve one of the grand mysteries of computational biology.

The power of sound: Thermoacoustic mixture separation process moves from science to application
DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
Until recently no one knew that if you put a mixture of two gases in a tube and send a sound wave – a pure tone, not a cacophony – through the mixture, it partially separates with one end of the tube being enriched with one kind of gas and the opposite end enriched with the other.
