Searching for Wandering MHBs and Stornly Lensed Transients in the Ear of Rubin, Roman, and EuclidThe Euclid and Roman wide-field surveys conicide with an exciting new era for transient discovery, in which Rubin Observatory's LSST will indentify thousands of tidal disruption events (TDEs) and millions of supernovae - including hundreds of gravitationally lensed supernovae (gLSNe). These surveys will enable us to identify populations of transients ...
Long-duration energy storage (LDES) is a key resource in enabling zero-emissions electricity grids but its role within different types of grids is not well understood. In this work, we find that a) LDES is particularly valuable in majority wind-powered regions and regions with diminishing hydropower generation, b) seasonal operation of ...
We consider the task of producing a single trajectory of a dynamical system under some state dependent policy. This ‘policy simulation’ task is often the core computational bottleneck in modern Reinforcement Learning algorithms. The multiple, inherently serial, policy evaluations that must be performed in one such simulation constitute the bulk ...

Radical-SAM Enzymes Nature’s Choice to Initiate Radical ReactionsRadical reactions are central to enzymatic catalysis, and overwhelmingly are carried out by Nature’s largest enzyme superfamily, the radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) enzymes (RS enzymes), with over 700,00 members that span all kingdoms of life and exhibit remarkable catalytic diversity. These enzymes initiate a reaction through H-atom abstraction from substrate by ...
The amino acid sequence of a protein encodes more than the native three-dimensional structure; it encodes the entire energy landscape - an ensemble of conformations whose energetics and dynamics are finely tuned for folding, binding and activity. Small variations in the sequence and environment modulate this landscape and can have ...
