🔬Los investigadores de CEQUINOR, Lucas Rodríguez Pirani y Lorena Picone, realizaron su 2da estadía en el Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron (SIRIUS, LNLS), perteneciente al Centro Nacional de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais (CNPEM) ubicado en Campinas, Brasil. #sirius #LNLS
Los investigadores del CEQUINOR, Lucas Rodríguez Pirani y Lorena Picone, han realizado la semana pasada su segunda estadía en el Laboratório Nacional de Luz Síncrotron (SIRIUS, LNLS), una de las fuentes de luz más avanzadas del mundo, perteneciente al Centro Nacional de Pesquisa em Energia e Materiais (CNPEM) ubicado en la ciudad de Campinas, Brasil. En el marco del estudio de microplásticos como contaminantes antrópicos del medio ambiente, estudiaron en colaboración con el Instituto Antártico Argentino, la presencia de microplásticos en muestras atmosféricas obtenidas en las inmediaciones de la base antártica Carlini, ubicada en la península Potter de la Isla 25 de Mayo perteneciente a las Shetland de Sur, Península Antártica. Los estudios fueron realizados empleando espectroscopia micro-FTIR en la línea de trabajo IMBUIA del SIRIUS. Los investigadores agradecen el apoyo recibido por el CNPEM y los responsables de de la línea de trabajo en el LNLS.

The collaboration launched with 16 members and the first in-person meeting was held at the @advancedphoton in Illinois, in May 2004. Membership has grown over the years and now stands at 25 members representing 23 synchrotrons and 7 free electron lasers. @DiamondLightSou, the UK’s national synchrotron, provides in-kind support in key areas such as web support and development, administration of the finances, and event management.

Great to see 2 ccp4ers @ccp4_mx being asked to comment on @GoogleDeepMind alphafold3 .. thanks to all those structural biologists who deposited their structures with @PDBeurope @rcsbPDB that made it all possible ....theguardian.com/science/arti…

Google DeepMind’s ‘leap forward’ in AI could unlock secrets of biology

AlphaFold breakthrough may bolster work in fields from antibiotics and cancer therapy to resilient crops
