AI can be seen both an opportunity for research productivity and a threat to research integrity. Our latest open research report "Feasibility of technical solutions for the detection of falsified images in research" discusses the risks posed by altered, duplicated and faked images and explores potential technical solutions. Focusing initially immunochemistry blots and microscopy images, our Phill Jones describes how digital signatures, metadata registries, and decentralised infrastructure could be used to certify images and other types of data. The question then becomes: how create the standards, organisational structures and community buy-in necessary to make it a success? Why not join the conversation during STM week in London in December. Follow the links in STMs post below to find out more. Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/ew6fiUJ3 or find it on our website.

Qnami Let the Science talk is back with a roar ?? ! The first 2024 edition features a Science Magazine paper by Michael Borst and collaborators. Wondering what happens if you combine #spinwaves with #superconductors? A lot, the team finds, once they were able to image the spin waves locally using?widefield #NVmagnetometry. ??For the first time, researchers were able to manipulate and control spin waves on magnetic chips using superconductors. A future with spin waves used to process information looks less far than before, thanks to these #groundbreaking results. The work by Borst and co-workers highlights that?#NVmagnetometry?will play a crucial role in proving the functionality of such future spin-wave devices. Check out the newsletter here ?? https://lnkd.in/disUbQ2T Take a look at the paper on Science ?? https://lnkd.in/dkmRiQ3E Heartfelt congratulations to the team: Michael Borst, Pim Vree, Andrew Lowther, Annick Teepe, Samer K., Iacopo Bertelli, Brecht Simon, Yaroslav Blanter, Toeno van der Sar - Delft University of Technology #spinwaves #superconductors #chips #devices #widefield #NVcentres #groundbreaking #research

Thank you for sharing this excellent post on the transformative power of simulations in chemistry, Quantistry team! The strides being made in computational chemistry are indeed impressive and critical for advancing our field. Having been deeply involved in similar research, I can attest to the immense potential of these tools. During my projects at CMMR Lab at Michigan Technological University, I utilized reactive molecular simulations to simulate curing (crosslinking) reactions in high-performance polymers and predict thermo-mechanical properties as a function of processing parameters. This approach not only enhanced our understanding of the evolution of material properties with curing but also paved the way for multiscale process modeling using ICME (Integrated Computational Materials Engineering). One of the highlights of my recent work was winning the AIAA ICME prize 2022, where we leveraged advanced simulation techniques to optimize the design of composite Y-joint used in Aurora Flight Science's D8 aircraft. Seeing the capabilities of these simulations in action reaffirms my belief in their importance for future discoveries and innovations. It's inspiring to see the progress and dedication of the Quantistry team. #Simulation #Chemistry #Research #Innovation #ComputationalChemistry #MolecularSimulation #reactivity #polymers
?? Moving Beyond Serendipity in Science with Simulations Can multiscale simulations and machine learning end trial and error, ushering in a data-driven science era? Serendipity, like Fleming's penicillin discovery, has long driven breakthroughs in science, such as X-rays, chemotherapy, and graphene. Traditionally, science relied on trial and error — constant, meticulous, repetitive experiments informing the next round of research. Technology like computational simulations and machine learning is revolutionizing research, making traditional methods obsolete. Read more in our blog: https://lnkd.in/geRHuhVj ??

The Round Robin approach applied to nanoinformatics: consensus prediction of nanomaterials zeta potential Dimitra-Danai Varsou, Arkaprava Banerjee, Joyita Roy, Kunal Roy, Giannis Savvas, Haralambos Sarimveis, Ewelina Wyrzykowska, Mateusz Balicki, Tomasz Puzyn, Georgia Melagraki, Iseult Lynch and Antreas Afantitis Beilstein Arch. 2024, 202433. https://lnkd.in/gmH-WX8n Using a publicly available dataset four research groups (NovaMechanics Ltd (NovaM) - Cyprus, National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) - Greece, QSAR Lab Ltd - Poland, and DTC Laboratory - India) built five distinct machine learning (ML) models for the in silico prediction of the zeta-potential of metal and metal oxide-nanomaterials (NMs) in aqueous medium. The individual models were integrated into a consensus modelling scheme, enhancing their predictive accuracy, and reducing their biases. The consensus models outperform the individual models, resulting in more reliable predictions. We propose this approach as a valuable method for increasing the validity of nanoinformatics models and driving regulatory acceptance of?in silico?new approach methodologies for use within an Integrated Approach to Testing and Assessment (IATA) for risk assessment of NMs. #nanoqsar #nanoinformatics #cheminformatics #zetapotential #readacross #rasar
