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.

Efter 50 år på den här planeten är jag förvånad över att människan fortfarande inte verkar vilja dela den med någon annan art. Vi trycker undan djur och växter alltmer, många av dem till den grad att de utrotas helt. En del göms undan i industrier där vi utvinner "nytta" och "produkter" – men utan att beblanda oss med dem. Bina får allt svårare att pollinera, korna får inte beta på sina ängar, renarna tvingas gå andra vägar när vi spränger hål i berget.
Är det verkli…

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 …

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 …
