Uses Cases
Portuguese researchers discovered promising molecules to develop optimized drugs against COVID-19
200 thousand molecules were tested using advanced computing. Researchers found two with good capacity to inhibit the virus and covered them with patents. So far, everything indicates that they are effective in combating new variants.
Computational and experimental science go together to literally reveal snapshots of the formation and growth of 2D polymers with unprecedent resolution as recently reported in the journal Nature.
Manuel Melle Franco, CICECO – Aveiro Institute of Materials (University of Aveiro) We can no longer imagine life without polymers. Products made of polymers are all around us, ranging from clothing made from synthetic fibres to plastic lenses in glasses. Polymers are formed when small molecules called monomers are linked together to form long chains. […]
