Can AI agents based on reasoning large language models optimize materials synthesis processes, such as atomic layer deposition? Mostly, except when they are misled by their own choices. Preprint is out: arxiv.org/abs/2601.09980 🧪
Performance of AI agents based on reasoning language models on ALD process optimization tasks
In this work we explore the performance and behavior of reasoning large language models to autonomously optimize atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes. In the ALD process optimization task, an agent...

The most significant challenge I encountered while developing an AI agent for chemistry is the paywall of journals!
There should be a universal rule that mandates all journals to make all their data publicly accessible after certain period.
Until then, we can’t democratize science, even with AI.

In 2018, I had the privilege of hearing Prof. Omar Yaghi’s lecture at the Technion, when he received the Wolf Prize in Chemistry.
It’s wonderful to see him honored with the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry, together with Prof. Kitagawa and Prof. Robson, for their work on reticular chemistry and MOFs.

Organic photosensitizers: from molecular design to phototheranostics
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has emerged as a highly promising approach for tumor treatment, owing to its remarkable spatiotemporal precision and non-invasive characteristics. Nevertheless, the clinical translation of conventional organic photosensitizers remains constrained by inherent limitations, including a low
