Chemistry deals with that most fundamental subject: matter. New drugs, materials and batteries all depend on our ability to make new molecules. But discovery of new substances is slow, expensive and fragile. Each molecule ...
Machine learning is transforming many scientific fields, including computational materials science. For about two decades, scientists have been using it to make accurate yet inexpensive calculations of interatomic potentials, ...
A new algorithmic framework that can predict flooding could help save lives and reduce the devastation as climate change drives more intense and unpredictable rainfall.
Scientists have designed a new type of gas sensor that can tell apart "mirror image" versions of the same smell molecule, even at very low concentrations. By coating carbon nanotubes with custom-built sugar-based receptors, ...
For decades, physicists have dreamed of a quantum internet: a planetary web of ultrasecure communications and super-powered computation built not from electrical signals, but from the ghostly connections between particles ...
Like other sectors of society, artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing how investors, traders and companies make decisions in financial markets. AI models have the ability to analyze massive amounts of data while ...
The dream of creating game-changing quantum computers—supermachines that encode information in single atoms rather than conventional bits—has been hampered by the formidable challenge known as quantum error correction.
A research team led by Prof. Li Xiangxian from the Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a new deep learning model that significantly ...
Researchers have developed an AI-powered 'scientific assistant' designed to accelerate the scientific process by helping them identify new research questions, analyze and interpret data, and produce scientific documents.
For more than two centuries, fossil fuels have dominated global energy and chemical production, accounting for over 80% of consumption and driving a steep rise in CO₂ emissions. This reliance has contributed to climate change, ...
