I am incredibly proud of this work published in @NatureComms. Reac-Discovery, is an AI guided platform for catalytic reactors' discovery. Combines POCs, 3DP and self-driving labs. Great job from Cris Tinajero, @marci_zanatta and collaborators t.ly/Rxotz

Reac-Discovery: an artificial intelligence–driven platform for continuous-flow catalytic reactor discovery and optimization - Nature Communications

Chemical reactor design has traditionally relied on human expertise. Here, the authors present Reac-Discovery, an AI-driven platform that designs, validates, fabricates and optimizes 3D-printed catalytic reactors.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Se ha filtrado el borrador de ley de universidades que está preparando la CAM. Si se aprueba, será la muerte de la universidad pública madrileña. Es escandaloso. No exagero. Se vienen tiempos oscuros como no espabilemos. Explico algunos puntos críticos. Va hilo. 👇

Nos hemos empezado a movilizar, pero es insuficiente. El 23 de marzo hay convocada una manifestación general de todos los servicios públicos madrileños. Pero las universidades debemos pensar en acciones más ambiciosas y una mayor confrontación. No hay más camino que una huelga masiva.👇

🔋 The folks over at PEM and RWTH Aachen University released a comparative analysis of BYD Blade and Tesla 4680 cells.

They find out that Tesla’s cell shows an order of magnitude higher DC resistance.

A study in Nature suggests that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) may be able to withstand future global warming and could avoid collapse. This important ocean current has a role in regulating temperatures around the planet. https://go.nature.com/4blFMKA 🧪
