Integrating benchwork with generative AI development: deciphering cell size regulation while driving predictive AI

Artificial intelligence promises to dramatically accelerate preclinical biomedical research, yet ensuring it provides accurate and relevant information remains a challenge. Current approaches may fabricate references and often lack the context needed to fully address scientific questions. Consequently, AI has not been widely adopted for applications such as hit selection from biological screens or experiment design. […]

Superacid treatment of MoS2 coating to enhance wear life

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been utilized as a space lubricant due to its suitability for vacuum environments. While MoS2 lubricants were adequate for early spacecraft, the increasing duration of missions has heightened the demands on these lubricants, necessitating ultrahigh wear lives extending from months to decades. To overcome these limitations, MoS2 has been co-deposited with […]
