A new paper, in Nature Chemistry, proves that there are still tons of "basic" things to discover in biology. There is so much room at the bottom. TL;DR: Researchers discovered a new type of post-translational modification, called “oligophosphorylation.” Rather than being tagged

We released the Open Molecules 2025 (OMol25) Dataset last week! 🚀🧪 OMol25 is a large (100M+) and diverse molecular DFT dataset for training machine learning models. It was a massive collaborative and interdisciplinary effort and I’m super proud of the whole team! 🙌 1/7

A 'one-drug-fits-all' approach to mental health often doesn’t work, but hopes for drugs for ‘domains’ of psychiatric disorders took a blow with the discontinuation of J&J's aticaprant for depression with anhedonia. Read about paths forward in the May issue https://t.co/OQTsQAhjVT

Just now: @arcinstitute and @nvidia release Evo 2, the largest AI model for biology. It is fully open-source. Evo 2 can predict which mutations in a gene are likely to be pathogenic, or even design entire eukaryotic genomes. We covered it in @AsimovPress! Check it out 🔻

Choosing good DFT functionals is hard! There's a web of different forms & corrections, and it's often non-obvious how they stick together. Our guide for non-experts weaves its way through GGAs, mGGAs, hybrids, range-separated hybrids, double hybrids, & dispersion corrections:

Dijkstra’s algorithm doesn’t just tell you the fastest route to one destination. Instead, it gives you an ordered list of travel times from your current location to every other point that you might want to visit — a solution to what researchers call the single-source

The 2024 Noble Prize in physics has been awarded to Cillian Murphy and Margot Robbie for the Barbenheimer effect. This phenomenon, involving the superposition of two very attractive people, allows physics to become interesting, a state which is otherwise spin-forbidden.
