Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Unlocking the potential of liquid crystal elastomers
Unveiling a novel laser-induced dynamic crosslinking method that enables local phase patterning with three distinct phases by phase patterning of liquid crystal elastomers by laser-induced dynamic crosslinking
Carbenoid-involved Reactions Integrated with Scaffold-based Screening Generates a Nav1.7 inhibitor
The synthetic accessible virtual inventory (SAVI) has attracted attention due to its compound synthesis accessibility and structural diversity. The carbenoid-involved reactions (CIR) are suitable for enumerating SAVI.
Recycling of silicon solar panels through a salt-etching approach
We report a simple salt-etching approach to recycle Ag and Si from end-of-life Si solar panels without using toxic mineral acids and generating secondary
pollution.
'SIMONA' software package released!
The software package SIMONA (an acronym standing for SIgned MOdels for Network Analysis) is designed to solve maximum-entropy models for signed networks and generate the related ensembles.
Do Large Language Models reason like us?
We show Large Language Models (LLMs) have become capable of incredible feats of reasoning, previously reserved to humans. Regardless, we bring forth evidence that LLM and human reasoning are not the same, as they respond differently to strategic cues, and are ruled by different biases.
New tricks from old drugs: repurposing the 80s
A paper in Molecular Psychiatry describes a new cell biological mechanism regulated by antidepressants, showing how a single dose of a drug fluvoxamine may open up the brain for drug delivery. Can this finding signal the beginning of a brand new career for the 30+ year-old drugs?
