Struktur moving junction pada invasi sel darah merah oleh Plasmodium

By
Para peneliti berhasil memetakan moving junction, struktur protein berbentuk cincin yang digunakan Plasmodium untuk membuat celah sementara pada membran sel darah merah. Parasit menyelinap melalui lubang mikroskopis ini tanpa terdeteksi dan membiarkan membran sel tetap utuh di belakangnya. Pelanggaran mekanis ini telah lama sulit diamati secara detail. Memahami mekanisme masuk fisik ini menawarkan target presisi untuk memblokir infeksi sebelum parasit berkembang biak. Meskipun demikian, melihat cara kerja mesin ini secara terisolasi masih jauh dari menghentikannya di dalam inang yang hidup sehingga intervensi tetap rumit. sumber: quantamagazine.org my other side: setyadi.com

MIT Research Shows New Magnetic State That Could Aid Quantum Computing

alphadogg writes"Researchers at MIT and other institutions have demonstrated a new type of magnetism, only the third kind ever found, and it may find its way into future communications, computing and data storage technologies. Working with a tiny crystal of a rare mineral that took 10 months to make, the researchers for the first time have demonstrated a magnetic state called a QSL (quantum spin liquid), according to MIT physics professor Young Lee. He is the lead author of a paper on their findings, which is set to be published in the journal Nature this week. Theorists had said QSLs might exist, but one had never been demonstrated before. 'We think it's pretty important,' Lee said, adding that he would let his peers be the ultimate judges."
