Tom Terwilliger, a scientist at the New Mexico Consortium, recently published his work, Improved AlphaFold modeling with implicit experimental information, in bioRxiv. Machine learning prediction algorithms (such as AlphaFold) are transforming the way that three-dimensional structures of proteins are obtained. These algorithms can create extremely accurate protein models. However, these models often have some regions

New Mexico Consortium scientists Feiyu Li and Xiangrong Fu, recently published their work titled Parametric Decay of Alfvénic Wave Packets in Nonperiodic Low-beta Plasmas in The Astrophysical Journal. Alfvén waves (AW) are very important in magnetized plasmas. Because they have little geometrical attenuation, these waves may efficiently carry fluctuating magnetic energy over long distances. They
