Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Pregnancy tracking with wearables
Pregnancies are often only tracked every couple of weeks at best, and have historically been understudied. Using wearable devices, people can measure and even share their pregnancy experiences anywhere in high resolution. Communities can fill historical oversights for research and for empowerment.
Predicting spinel oxides electrical conductivity

A unified model for interpretable latent embedding of multi-sample, multi-condition single-cell data
The advent of single-cell technologies has allowed us not only to generate comprehensive atlases of cell types in their 'normal' states, but also to understand how these cells change under various conditions. Here, we introduce GEDI, a framework to enable the analysis of these datasets.
A high-resolution large-area detector for quality assurance in radiotherapy
This paper discusses the design, fabrication and performance tests of a detector based on Gas Electron Multipliers (GEM) coupled to a matrix of thin-film transistors (TFT).
Iridium nitrenoid-enabled arene C−H functionalization
Direct arene C−H functionalization via nucleophilic aromatic substitution remains a challenging task. Here we report an iridium nitrenoid-catalysed arene C−H functionalization strategy, making use of readily available aryl azides as electrophiles to react with different nucleophiles.
