The Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded for Metal-Organic Frameworks.

There is so much potential in these materials.

I've been talking about them for a long time.

Socially contagious urination in chimpanzees Onishi and colleagues report socially contagious urination in chimpanzees, whereby individuals synchronize urination with conspecifics.

#PrimatePost 🦧💧
Chimps pee when seeing others peeing! 💦 Contagious urination may have social implications for group cohesion, marking territory and long-distance travel - like when you ask your friends to pee before a long car ride! We do it too!

There’s probably ways to make it work, however. But you’re correct that it would need a bit more care.

Correct. I didn’t. My intuition is that it wouldn’t have expressed.

A protein made up of four alpha helices and a benzene molecule bound to it.

I did some more basic experiments a while back with chatgpt, like "Design a protein composed of multiple alpha helices, which has a small binding pocket for a hydrophobic molecule." The generated sequence was novel and folded correctly. But deepseek r1 can do much more advanced things.

Thanks for the paper, I like the regime diagram

Frost flower (sea ice) - Wikipedia

These are called "frost flowers." And yep your guess about atmospheric deposition is correct. When you have a layer of freshly formed ice underneath very cold air, some of the water sublimates from the ice, only to immediately supercool once it hits the cold air. Crystals then grow.

How would one solve the issue of misinformation and targeted propaganda campaigns?

I can say 'no' to you

Sets are very underused. Don't manually dedup stuff or write unnecessary hashing based algorithms! Sets do these with basically 0 effort. Another use case: Checking if some key or label is unique. The use cases are endless.

The method outlined here, a generalization of the Plaquette Trotter formulation, makes it possible to simulate the Hubbard model on any lattice, and also provides a framework for simulating more complex models such as the extended Hubbard model and the PPP model.

Eating Fiber Could Protect You From Infections. Here's Why. Our body isn't just human — it's home to trillions of microorganisms found in or on us.

Going plant-based you could be healthier, get fewer infections, and have less need for antibiotics

The best middle finger you can give them is being unfazed and defiant.

New study finds that paleolithic humans in various regions across Europe got most of their protein from plants, not animals

If eugenicists achieved their goal we'd have a monoculture of 'perfect' humans that all looked alike... and would be destroyed by hereditary disease or the next pandemic

Even that's being generous to them. it's scientifically illiterate. There's more to the gene pool than just genes for intelligence or facial symmetry

The weights are input-dependent which is different from how an MLP works.

Add me

This is a huge. A big advance in graphene semiconductors.

"It is mechanically and thermally robust and can be patterned using conventional semiconductor fabrication techniques."

They even made a FET, and it switches!

Thought this might be a cool idea to try and turns out it is.

Learned Radiance Fields are the future of graphics and therefore of the way we interact with computers.
