We present an adaptive sampling method for computing free energies, radial distribution functions, and potentials of mean force. The method is characterized by simplicity and accuracy, with the added advantage that the data are obtained in terms of quasicontinuous functions. The method is illustrated and tested with simulations on a high density fluid, including a stringent consistency test involving an unusual thermodynamic cycle that highlights its advantages.

In the face of advancements in microrobotics, intelligent control and precision medicine, artificial muscle actuation systems must meet demands for precise control, high stability, environmental adaptability and high integration miniaturization. Carbon materials, being lightweight, strong and highly conductive and flexible, show great potential for artificial muscles. Inspired by the butterfly's proboscis, we have developed a carbon-based artificial muscle, hydrogen-substituted graphdiyne muscle (HsGDY-M), fabricated efficiently using an emerging hydrogen-substituted graphdiyne (HsGDY) film with an asymmetrical surface structure.

It is crucial for early detection and treatment of Alzheimer's disease before clinical manifestation. The stage between cognitively healthy older persons and AD is known as mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Estrogen deficiency during menopause plays a major role in post-menopausal osteoporosis by influencing bone, immune, and gut cell activity. In the gut, estrogen loss decreases tight junction proteins that bind epithelial cells of the intestinal barrier together.

Here, we compared the AlphaFold2 and AlphaFold Multimer predicted structures of Bam protein and the Bam:Bgcn protein complex between , where is necessary in gametogenesis to that in , where it is not. Despite significant sequence divergence, we find very little evidence of significant structural differences in high confidence regions of the structures across the four species.
