Quantum chemistry, the most promising application field of quantum computers, this week's nature cover article reported that researchers have realized the quantum variational eigenvalue solver on superconducting quantum processors to simulate large molecular systems So we can extend the scope of quantum chemistry calculation to lithium hydride (LiH) and beryllium hydride (beh2), and apply their technology to solve the quantum magnetic problem Nature http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v549/n7671/full/nature23879.html gender equality assessment plan in 2005, ten British universities launched a public welfare plan called Athena swan The plan assesses the inclusiveness and equality of scientific research institutions in terms of employment, promotion and retention of female employees At present, more and more institutions and countries begin to adopt similar equality assessment systems Nature http://www.nature.com/news/uk-gender-equality-scheme-spreads-across-the-world-1.22599? Wt.mc_id = Weibo ﹐ Nature news ﹐ 20170915 ﹐ cont an energy-saving air conditioning system designed by Stanford University scientists that uses radiant panels to reduce water temperature They added a thin layer of silicon dioxide and hafnium oxide to the silver layer of the radiation plate, which can emit heat at a wavelength of 8-13 microns, while the atmosphere is almost transparent at this wavelength, so the heat can be directly radiated into outer space through the atmosphere Nature energy https://www.nature.com/articles/nenergy2017142 researcher Li junbai of the Institute of chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was awarded the letureship award at the recent 2017 annual meeting of colloid and interface of the Japanese chemical society, researcher Li junbai of the Institute of chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was awarded the letureship award This is an award set up by the Japanese chemical society in recognition of the international scientists who have made outstanding contributions in the field of colloid and interface science Recently, Viking therapeutics published the positive results of gene expression analysis of small molecule thyroid receptor β agonist vk2809 treatment group in its recently completed diet induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in vivo model The analysis of more than 20000 genes evaluated showed that after 8 weeks of vk2809 treatment, the expression of multiple genes related to the occurrence and development of Nash changed significantly These findings are consistent with the histologic findings recently reported in this study Previous results showed that compared with the control group, animals treated with vk2809 had significant improvement in the activity score of NAFLD, liver fibrosis and liver and plasma lipid levels Biospace http://www.biospace.com/News/viking-therapeutics-announces-results-of-gene/468737/source=MoreNews
