Science X Dialog
Science X Dialog is where researchers can share news and information about their own published journal articles.
How to apply
Dialog / New hope for novel therapies has emerged from computational models
In the war between good and evil, I was there seeking to design powerful selfish strategies for investigating the defense mechanisms of cooperators. Surprisingly, the results serve a different domain of science. It gave me ...
Dialog / The world's largest quantum chemistry dataset to empower new materials design and drug discovery
Predicting the properties of an object is a most natural task for machine learning (ML) algorithms, and molecules or crystals are not an exception. Every drug discovery or materials design pipeline depends on the ability ...
Dialog / Unraveling electron transport dynamics in photosystem II under water deficit and heat stress in pearl millet
Heat and water deficit stresses tend to impede and restrict the efficiency of photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and maximum photochemical quantum yield in plants based on their characteristic ability to interfere with ...
Dialog / Rangewide analysis reveals climatic sensitivities and non-timber values of tall redwoods
Coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) has a narrow and fragmented distribution in western North America. Extreme resistance to fire and fungi allows redwoods to live more than 2,000 years and become the tallest trees on ...
Dialog / Resolving 'Faraday's paradox': New experimental evidence on the influence of the test circuit
Unipolar induction is a specific form of induction that has caused much confusion among researchers and has been heavily debated in the literature, to the point that it has been deemed by some as paradoxical. After performing ...
Dialog / Researchers leverage new machine learning methods to learn from noisy labels for image classification
The rapid development of deep learning in recent years is largely due to the rapid increase in the scale of data. The availability of large amounts of data is revolutionary for model training by the deep learning community. ...
Dialog / Atom-economy and time-economy synthesis of diclofenac sodium in a desktop micro-chemical plant
In recent years, continuous flow chemistry has evolved into a powerful platform for molecular assembly that is making an impact on organic synthetic chemistry. Unlike conventional batch method, chemical transformations are ...
Dialog / Reusable biosensors for the detection of harmful pathogens dispersed in potable water
Drinking contaminated water can lead to waterborne diseases, threatening the lives of many. Intentional contamination of a municipal water system represents a potential target for terroristic activity because of drinkable ...
Dialog / Pooling strategies can reduce the cost of COVID-19 PCR tests, even at high prevalence
Large-scale testing and contact tracing play a fundamental role in the containment of COVID-19 outbreaks. The task is nevertheless rendered difficult by the existing limitations on test analysis facilities and trained personnel. ...
Dialog / Testing a transparent superhydrophobic coating on face shields for enhanced protection against COVID-19
A face shield is personal protective equipment to prevent airborne transmission of COVID-19. These face shields are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is hydrophilic. The respiratory droplets exhaled by an infected ...
Dialog / Optimizing flow-induced vibrations of an elastically mounted cylinder
Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are detrimental to structures like ...
Dialog / Saturated alcohol vapor mediated colloidal deposits of an evaporating droplet on a surface
Understanding the deposition of micro- or nano-particles is central to designing innovative bioassays, biosensors, functional surfaces and ink-jet printing. An evaporating droplet containing colloidal particles results in ...
