Nigel Moriarty, Wave Wizard
Experimentation abounds for computational research scientist Nigel Moriarty. A lifelong stamp collector and surfer, he approaches culturally-distinct pockets of society with the curiosity of an anthropologist. And applying quantum chemistry and theoretical physics to drug design is part of his day-to-day work writing software with MBIB’s PHENIX group.
Researchers Capture Elusive Missing Step in Photosynthesis
After decades of effort, scientists have revealed atomic-scale details of the water splitting step of photosynthesis, the chemical process that generates the air we breathe. The latest work adds to our understanding of photosynthesis and will aid the development of fully renewable alternative energy sources.
