Unlocking the Power of Deep Learning for Multi-Omic Molecular Profiling: Insights from a Pan-Cancer Study
We investigated the capability of deep learning (DL) for molecular profiling using routine pathology images. Distilling results from over 4,000 biomarkers, we found that DL can establish status of many biomarkers across multiple cancers, indicating its potential for revolutionising patient care.
Safeguarding Blue Skies: Advanced Metal-Organic Frameworks for Pollution Remediation
Benzene and SO2 coexist as hazardous air pollutants. Here we synthesized a robust pyrazolate MOF sorbent with accessible Ni2+ sites that can simultaneously capture trace amounts of benzene and SO2 under humid conditions.
Paradigm shift from shareholders and stakeholders to future successors
Shareholder and stakeholder paradigms, corporate social responsibility and sustainability address business relationships with society and the natural environment. However, Lara Johannsdottir and Brynhildur Davidsdottir suggest shifting the focus to future successors in a recently published article.
TPE-Embedded Butterfly Bis-Crown Ether with Controllable Conformation and Supramolecular Chiroptical Property
A series of bis-crown ethers with AIE-active TPE core are synthesized via intramolecular McMurry coupling. The incorporation of flexible side chains into the rigid TPE core results in specific strain on the molecules, generating two conformers with specific semi-rigid symmetric/asymmetric structures
Behind the Paper: Unraveling the Magnetic Mysteries of Na₂Co₂TeO₆
The journey to understanding the magnetic properties of Na₂Co₂TeO₆ (NCTO) began with a fundamental question: Can this material reveal the elusive quantum spin-liquid (QSL) state predicted by the Kitaev model? Our article provides the answer.
