As interest in #ALDep manufacturing increases, researchers from Argonne National Laboratory are exploring ways to scale-up the process of ALD particle coating. #JVSTA @avs-members.bsky.social doi.org/10.1116/6.00...

Abstract reviews for the ALD conference are now double blind and I love it!

"The goal of conducting a fast-tracked nuclear test can only be political, not scientific." "Why it would be a bad idea for the Trump administration to conduct a 'rapid' nuclear test," by Sulgiye Park, Jennifer Knox, and @dkspaulding.bsky.social of @ucsusa.bsky.social.

"I don't know what NSF is going to be now, but it's not more efficient. It's just a mess." My story on today's firings and their impact. www.npr.org/2025/02/18/n...

“Before Noether’s theorem, the principle of conservation of energy was shrouded in mystery,” the physicist and mathematician Feza Gürsey wrote in 1983. “… Noether’s simple and profound mathematical formulation did much to demystify physics.” https://buff.ly/414iuVL

Had a blast at the National Academy of Engineering National Meeting giving a talk to high schoolers on brain-inspired computing. Their questions were amazing and came back more optimistic about our future.

It's nice to live in a country where eggs are available and affordable. JD Vance may scold us here in Europe. But at least we can make an omelette without taking out a mortgage.

Happy wernerherzogvalentines.com day everyone

It is mindblowing that after almost twenty years Web of Science still doesn’t know how to deal with article numbers and messes up exports to RIS and Endnote.

A direct hit | Science www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Just got the dreaded email. University of Iowa is halting all NIH grant submissions. Losing a generation of scientists here will send the state backwards. What a travesty.

Johnson et al. leverage ML and automated quantum chemistry to model coverage effects on Cu(111). Their subgraph decision tree approach achieves about 0.18 eV error for activation barriers, revealing large shifts in adsorbate and transition-state energies under crowding. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Hu et al. use a machine learning-accelerated protocol with multiple electronic descriptors to rapidly screen thousands of molecular photosensitizer–catalyst pairs for CO2 reduction. The best system reached a turnover number of 4,390 with high selectivity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The National Institutes of Health plans to severely cut the percentage of its grant money that can be used for overhead costs rather than research.

Exclusive: NSF this week began to search through billions of dollars of grants the agency has already awarded for anything touching on topics that President Donald Trump has criticized. And NSF has blocked grantees and trainees from accessing funds while the review is underway. scim.ag/3El0NZh

Learning the language of life with A.I. @science.org In today's essay, I review the phenomenal progress in foundation models of DNA, RNA, proteins, ligands, cells, their interactions, the Virtual Lab, and the aspiration for the Virtual Cell www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
