Isospin migration within fast-rotating heavy ion collision system

Nuclear Science and Techniques
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers have experimentally observed the enhancement of neutron-rich particle emission from out-of-fission-plane in Fermi energy heavy ion collisions, suggesting a new probe for nuclear equation of state. The fast-rotating reaction system provides a beneficial environment to study the mechanisms of isospin migration and fission dynamics.

Insilico Medicine launches Nach01 Foundation model on AWS Marketplace to help accelerate generative chemistry innovation

InSilico Medicine
Business Announcement

Insilico Medicine, a clinical-stage biotechnology company driven by generative artificial intelligence (AI), today announced the recent release of its Nach01 foundation model on Amazon Web Services (AWS), available via AWS Marketplace, a curated storefront helping companies of all sizes find, buy, and deploy solutions from AWS Partners. The launch represents a major step in the ongoing collaboration between AWS and Insilico Medicine’s Pharma.AI Platform, aimed at providing access to advanced AI tools for drug design. Nach01 leverages a large language model to process both structural and spatial data. Combining strengths from both predecessors, Nach01 is designed to solve hundreds of diverse tasks, providing a broad and comprehensive range of chemical knowledge.

Deciphering the behavior of heavy particles in the hottest matter in the universe

University of Barcelona
Peer-Reviewed Publication

An international team of scientists has published a new report that moves towards a better understanding of the behaviour of some of the heaviest particles in the universe under extreme conditions, which are similar to those just after the big bang. The paper, published in the journal Physics Reports, is signed by physicists Juan M. Torres-Rincón, from the Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the University of Barcelona (ICCUB), Santosh K. Das, from the Indian Institute of Technology Goa (India), and Ralf Rapp, from Texas A&M University (United States).

Revolutionary coating shields iron from rust with 99.6% efficiency

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers have developed a highly effective dual-layer coating that provides 99.6% protection against iron corrosion. The breakthrough combines a thin molecular primer with a durable polymer layer, creating a strong, long-lasting barrier against rust. This innovation could significantly reduce maintenance costs and extend the lifespan of iron-based materials used in construction, transportation, and manufacturing.
