AI Weakens Critical Thinking. This Is How to Rebuild It
AI does our thinking for us and our minds are paying the price. Here’s how to reclaim cognitive independence.

Phenylalanine modification in plasma-driven biocatalysis revealed by solvent accessibility and reactive dynamics in combination with protein mass spectrometry
Biocatalysis is an emerging field that provides an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional catalysis, but still it faces some challenges. One of the major difficulties for biocatalysts that require reactive species like H2O2 as co-substrates lies in the concentration of these reactive species. On the one hand, they are used as reactants, but on the other hand, they inactivate the enzymes at high concentrations. When utilizing non-thermal plasma to deliver H2O2 for biocatalysis, it …

Subjective Evaluation Profile Analysis of Science Fiction Short Stories and its Critical-Theoretical Significance
This study positions large language models (LLMs) as "subjective literary critics" to explore aesthetic preferences and evaluation patterns in literary assessment. Ten Japanese science fiction short stories were translated into English and evaluated by six state-of-the-art LLMs across seven independent sessions. Principal component analysis and clustering techniques revealed significant variations in evaluation consistency (α ranging from 1.00 to 0.35) and five distinct evaluation patterns. Ad…

The formation and evolution of dust in the colliding-wind binary Apep revealed by JWST
Carbon-rich Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars are significant contributors of carbonaceous dust to the galactic environment, however the mechanisms and conditions for formation and subsequent evolution of dust around these stars remain open questions. Here we present JWST observations of the WR+WR colliding-wind binary Apep which reveal an intricate series of nested concentric dust shells that are abundant in detailed substructure. The striking regularity in these substructures between successive shells su…

Exploring the Potential of LLMs for Serendipity Evaluation in Recommender Systems
Serendipity plays a pivotal role in enhancing user satisfaction within recommender systems, yet its evaluation poses significant challenges due to its inherently subjective nature and conceptual ambiguity. Current algorithmic approaches predominantly rely on proxy metrics for indirect assessment, often failing to align with real user perceptions, thus creating a gap. With large language models (LLMs) increasingly revolutionizing evaluation methodologies across various human annotation tasks, we…

Magneto-Ionic Hardware Security Primitives: Embedding Data Protection at the Material Level
The Big Data revolution has heightened the demand for robust, energy-efficient security hardware capable of withstanding increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Conventional encryption schemes, reliant on complex algorithms, are resource-intensive and remain vulnerable. To fortify sensitive information, society needs innovative anti-hacking and anti-counterfeiting technologies that exploit new materials and designs. Here, we present a magneto-ionic strategy for hardware-level security based o…

DiffuMeta: Algebraic Language Models for Inverse Design of Metamaterials via Diffusion Transformers
Generative machine learning models have revolutionized material discovery by capturing complex structure-property relationships, yet extending these approaches to the inverse design of three-dimensional metamaterials remains limited by computational complexity and underexplored design spaces due to the lack of expressive representations. Here, we present DiffuMeta, a generative framework integrating diffusion transformers with a novel algebraic language representation, encoding 3D geometries as…

Stumbling around uncharted regulatory structures: NAcrins, or the perspective of specialized sources of modulatory non-coding RNAs
The revelation of the supreme authority of nucleic acids in the cellular landscape has precipitated the recognition of the versatility of RNAs in cells. The subsequent discovery of non-coding RNAs was a major breakthrough that revealed their extensive involvement in virtually all physiological processes within the cell. Beyond the barriers of the cell, the current perception seems to support the idea of their participation in intercellular regulation and cross-kingdom communication. However, th…
