- 1Physics-grounded AI aims to make materials discovery more reliable▼Physics-Grounded Materials AI for Reliable Materials Discovery
Researchers have announced a physics-grounded artificial intelligence approach for discovering new materials, aiming to make predictions more reliable than purely data-driven models. The work was highlighted via science news release services covering materials research. By embedding physical laws into the AI, developers say the method should generalize better beyond known training data, a persistent weakness in computational materials screening.
- 2USADA marks 25th science symposium with new doping detection advances▼USADA Celebrates 25th Science Symposium by Advancing Detection of Peptides, Hormones, and Growth Factors
The United States Anti-Doping Agency is holding its 25th science symposium, using the milestone to highlight progress in detecting peptides, hormones, and growth factors used to cheat in sport. The agency says research presented at the symposium supports stronger and more reliable anti-doping testing methods.
- 3Essay traces modern dilemmas to the Cartesian split▼Fast-forward and upscale this exact cocktail through four centuries—the cartesian split, the explosion of the scientific
A new essay argues that today's intellectual and personal predicaments are the product of four centuries of history: Descartes' division of mind and matter, the rise of the scientific method, and what the author calls the immense cost of introspection. The piece suggests that scaling up that 'cocktail' over time has produced the exact reality people now face, blending science history with reflection on how we think about ourselves.
