CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov 14, 2024 --- Insilico Medicine(“Insilico”), a global leading generative artificial intelligence (AI)-driven biotechnology company, will be hosting Pharma.AI Week featuring in-depth webinar series from November 19-21. Through detailed explanation and online demos, the event will provide an exclusive look into the latest advancements and innovations within the Pharma.AI platform, which comprises Biology42, Chemistry42, Medicine42 and Science42.

On April 8, 2024, the Einstein Probe (EP) captured an unusual transient, EP240408a, with its panorama lobster-eye telescope. The newly emerged source exhibited a brief yet intense X-ray flare, lasting only 12 seconds, 300 times stronger than the underlying X-ray emission observed, before fading away within 10 days. With its unique radiation characteristics, this event does not align with any known transient types, suggesting a possible novel category of cosmic transient phenomena. The first official EP science paper from the team, published in "Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy" on October 30, details this finding.

In a feature article published in SCIENCE CHINA Chemistry, Ming Gong’s group summarized their latest progresses in exploring the effects of ions on electrocatalytic reactions, outlined the current challenges and opportunities in the study of ion effects, and provided insights into future research directions.

In a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Chemistry, a strategy of ligand-protected direct hydrogen reduction was adapted to prepare zeolite-confined Pt-Pd bimetallic cluster catalysts. These catalysts efficiently catalyze hydrogen production from ammonia borane (AB) solvolysis and tandem hydrogenation of nitroarenes. Interestingly, in the tandem reaction, AB undergoes hydrolysis at the Pt sites to produce active hydrogen species, which are then transferred to the neighboring Pd sites to reduce nitroarenes.

University of Liverpool researchers are part of an international research collaboration that has shed light on what happens at the extremes of neutron and proton numbers, in search of where the periodic table of chemical elements ends. In a study published in the journal Nature, the research team provide insight into the structure of atomic nuclei of fermium (element 100) and nobelium (element 102) with different numbers of neutrons
