Earthquakes can open and shut thrust faults
Engineers and scientists have experimentally observed surface twisting in thrust faults that can momentarily rip open the Earth's surface. Here, an illustration based on a computer model shows how the hanging wall (right) of a thrust fault is twisting away from the foot wall (left) during an ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

NLM Informatics and Data Science Lecture Series: Semantic Annotations, Reuse, and Reproducibility
NLM Informatics and Data Science Lecture Series
Biomodeling (or biosimulation modeling) has the potential to revolutionize patient-specific health care and precision medicine. To increase our knowledge and management of complex pathologies, biomodeling provides the ability to produce detailed, mechanistic simulations of the dynamic biological processes and their participants. The development of these biomodels can be viewed as analogous to software development. To be effective and to scale to larger systems, the models must include clear documentation (semantic annotations), be developed in a reproducible manner, and be de...

A new " everything-repellent " coating could kidproof phones, homes
Spray it on, brush it on, spin it on: A newly developed durable, clear coating is "omniphobic," meaning it repels virtually every known liquid. By mixing mathematical possibilities on the computer, researchers discovered the right set of ingredients to concoct the coating, which could potentially ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item.

Computing cures: discovery through the lens of a computational microscope
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Dr. Amaro ’ s scientific interests lie at the intersection of computer-aided drug discovery and biophysical simulation methods. She has a long-standing interest in incorporating structural and dynamical information derived from all-atom molecular dynamics simulations in drug discovery programs, and has worked in a variety of disease areas, including infectious diseases and cancer. Her lab ’ s work on p53 revealed a novel druggable pocket that clarified the mechanism of action for a compound in clinical trials. This work served as the basis for the formation of a start-u...
