Neues synthetisches Polymer ist leicht, sehr hart und tötet Viren ab
Ein neues Polymer hat ungewöhnliche Eigenschaften: Es ist sehr stabil, leicht, kann flexibel sein und Viren abtöten. Einfach herzustellen, ist es auch.

Morgen dus waarschijnlijk de hele dag een van de debatten die de meeste aandacht zal krijgen, maar inhoudelijk totaal niets waard hoogst waarschijnlijk.

Amazon's R&D lab forms new agentic AI group
The new group will help develop an agentic AI "framework" for use in its robotics operations, an application often referred to as "physical AI."

The 80th edition of De Programmatica Ipsum is out!
This month, we deplore the sad state of the Windows operating system; in the Library section, we review “The Old New Thing” by Raymond Chen; and in our Vidéothèque section, we learn about how the Longhorn project derailed through Dave Plummer.

Weak Degeneracy of Planar Graphs
The weak degeneracy of a graph $G$ is a numerical parameter that was recently introduced by the first two authors with the aim of understanding the power of greedy algorithms for graph coloring. Every $d$-degenerate graph is weakly $d$-degenerate, but the converse is not true in general (for example, all connected $d$-regular graphs except cycles and cliques are weakly $(d-1)$-degenerate). If $G$ is weakly $d$-degenerate, then the list-chromatic number of $G$ is at most $d+1$, and the same uppe…

polyBART: A Chemical Linguist for Polymer Property Prediction and Generative Design
Designing polymers for targeted applications and accurately predicting their properties is a key challenge in materials science owing to the vast and complex polymer chemical space. While molecular language models have proven effective in solving analogous problems for molecular discovery, similar advancements for polymers are limited. To address this gap, we propose polyBART, a language model-driven polymer discovery capability that enables rapid and accurate exploration of the polymer design …

Maryland DOT launches new policy of quick-fix road diets with paint & plastic "bollards" after initial test projects work well. Approach is try it for 6-9 months and see if it works in place of long studies.

A large, chemically enriched, neutral gas reservoir in a galaxy at z = 6.782
The chemical characterization of galaxies in the first billion years after the Big Bang is one of the central goals of current astrophysics. Optical/near-infrared spectroscopy of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been heralded as an effective diagnostic to probe the interstellar medium of their host galaxies and their metal and dust content, up to the highest redshift. An opportunity to fulfill this expectation was provided by the recent blast triggered by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory of …
