Published 'Molecular compass' points way to reduction of animal testing



Machine learning models have become increasingly popular for risk assessment of chemical compounds. However, they are often considered 'black boxes' due to their lack of transparency. To increase confidence in these models, researchers proposed carefully identifying the areas of chemical space where these models are weak. They developed an innovative software tool for this purpose, and the results of this research approach have just been published.
Published A new reaction to enhance aromatic ketone use in chemical synthesis



Researchers develop a one pot process to transform aromatic ketones to esters, offering advancements in pharmaceutical synthesis and materials science.
Published Investigating the interplay of folding and aggregation in supramolecular polymer systems



Scientists have developed photoresponsive supramolecular polymers that can undergo both intrachain folding and interchain aggregation.
Published Adaptive 3D printing system to pick and place bugs and other organisms



A new adaptive 3D printing system can identify the positions of randomly distributed organisms and safely move them to specific locations for assembly.
Published Scientists harness quantum microprocessor chips for revolutionary molecular spectroscopy simulation



Engineering researchers have successfully developed a quantum microprocessor chip for molecular spectroscopy simulation of actual large-structured and complex molecules.
Published Spectacular increase in the deuterium/hydrogen ratio in Venus' atmosphere



Our understanding of Venus' water history and the potential that it was once habitable in the past is being challenged by recent observations.
Published Key biofuel-producing microalga believed to be a single species is actually three



When a global pandemic forced previous a graduate student out of the lab and onto the computer, he found a world of difference hidden in the long-studied species of Botryoccocus braunii -- and discovered that it isn't one species at all, but three.
Published Wearable, stretchable sensor for quick, continuous, and non-invasive detection of solid-state skin biomarkers



Detecting diseases early requires the rapid, continuous and convenient monitoring of vital biomarkers. Researchers have now developed a novel sensor that enables the continuous, and real-time detection of solid-state epidermal biomarkers, a new category of health indicators. The team's wearable, stretchable, hydrogel-based sensor overcomes the limitations of current methods that rely on biofluid samples, such as blood, urine and sweat. This makes it a promising alternative for wearable, continuous, and real-time health monitoring, facilitating the early detection of conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and stroke.
Published Morphable materials: Researchers coax nanoparticles to reconfigure themselves



A view into how nanoscale building blocks can rearrange into different organized structures on command is now possible with an approach that combines an electron microscope, a small sample holder with microscopic channels, and computer simulations, according to a new study.
Published Taming Parkinson's disease with intelligent brain pacemakers



Two new studies are pointing the way toward round-the-clock personalized care for people with Parkinson's disease through an implanted device that can treat movement problems during the day and insomnia at night.
Published Researchers develop new chemical method to enhance drug discovery



Researchers developed a novel reagent that enhances the precision of drug synthesis. This innovative method introduces a new sulfur fluoride exchange (SuFEx) reagent that allows for highly controlled production of crucial sulfur-based molecules, including sulfinamides, sulfonimidamides and sulfoximines.
Published Tracking down the asteroid that sealed the fate of the dinosaurs



The asteroid that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago probably came from the outer solar system.
Published Right on schedule: Physicists use modeling to forecast a black hole's feeding patterns with precision



The dramatic dimming of a light source ~ 870 million light years away from Earth confirms the accuracy of a detailed model.
