Molecular labels streamline high throughput mass spec analysis by rapidly ranking reactions
2+ hour, 48+ min ago (262+ words) High throughput screening suffers from a bottleneck that means each screening campaign needs bespoke assays. The new work eases this snarl-up, speeding up analysis significantly High throughput screening has dramatically accelerated the rate of drug discovery and optimisation. But, while…...

7+ hour, 31+ min ago (1220+ words) Source: " Royal Society of Chemistry Could atomically precise nanoclusters mimic the chemistry of particular atoms without their toxic or cost drawbacks? JMC reports on the emerging third dimension of the periodic table This summary was generated by AI and checked…...
AI model fills in the gaps in crystal structures by placing missing hydrogen atoms
3+ day, 7+ hour ago (862+ words) An artificial intelligence (AI) model is able to fill in missing or incorrectly placed atoms " such as hydrogen " in the crystal structures of inorganic materials. Refining atomic positions in this way may allow chemists to better simulate material structures or…...
AI agents accelerate catalyst discovery from simulation to scale-up
1+ week, 7+ hour ago (477+ words) Artificial intelligence tools are transforming catalyst research, with new AI agents capable of completing in minutes what once took computational chemists days. Andy Extance explores how all scientists can benefit, from small groups to those at'tech giants like Meta, Google…...
Could AI research assistants speed up scientific discovery?
2+ week, 3+ day ago (848+ words) Could AI research assistants one day become commonplace when refining and testing hypotheses? To combat this challenge, Google Deep Mind developed Co-Scientist " an AI assistant purposefully built to work alongside scientists. Deep Mind released the programme in February last year…...
Why I think it's time to change how we teach the inductive effect
2+ week, 5+ day ago (455+ words) Elliott thinks students would benefit from a stronger focus on polarisability in organic chemistry In recent work, we have explored the inductive effect more generally, and we find a complex scenario. 2 The inductive effect of a halogen in a neutral…...
