Unlocking the timecode of the Dead Sea Scrolls

University of Groningen
Peer-Reviewed Publication

By combining radiocarbon dating, palaeography, and artificial intelligence, an international team of researchers led by the University of Groningen has developed a date-prediction model that provides much more accurate date estimates for individual manuscripts Dead Sea Scrolls. Using this model, called Enoch, the researchers demonstrate that many Dead Sea Scrolls are older than previously thought.

Researchers use hybrid model on quantum computers to predict molecular behavior in solvents

Cleveland Clinic
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A team led by Kenneth Merz, PhD, Staff in Cleveland Clinic's Center for Computational Life Sciences, showed how quantum computers can be used for investigating how molecules act in aqueous solutions. The paper, published in a special issue of The Journal of Physical Chemistry, is also the first study to test Sample-Based Quantum Diagonalization (SQD) in the solvent phase. The paper was featured as the cover story for this issue of the journal.

Researchers unveil a groundbreaking clay-based solution to capture carbon dioxide and combat climate change

Purdue University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

One of Earth's most common nanomaterials is facilitating breakthroughs in tackling climate change: clay. In a new study, researchers at Purdue University, in collaboration with experts from Sandia National Laboratories, have potentially uncovered a game-changing method for using clay to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) directly from the air to help mitigate climate change. Their work, which earned them a 2024 R&D 100 Award and has a patent application in progress, was recently published in The Journal of Physical Chemistry C.
