Researchers use large language models to discover recipes for novel materials

The researchers developed an AI-based method that allows users to input natural language prompts about the materials they want to create and suggests optimal procedures for experiments to produce them. The method has been successfully applied to identify catalysts for turning carbon dioxide and hydrogen into carbon monoxide and water u...

From Tatooine to reality

Researchers applied Bayesian network analysis to a corpus of 142 science fiction works, investigating the representation of extrasolar planets. They found that after the discovery of real exoplanets in 1995, fictional exoplanets became less Earth-like, reflecting the scientific reality of vast numbers of diverse exoplanet types.

Taking a systems approach to cyber security

A new study offers a framework for addressing cyber security challenges in critical infrastructure by explicitly representing multiple dimensions of potential impacts. The proposed Bayesian network model allows for the identification of optimal portfolios of security measures to minimize expected cyberattack impacts.

Could green façades cool down cities in the future?

A new study assesses the feasibility of green façades as a climate change mitigation strategy in urban environments. The research reveals that experts estimate the likelihood of implementation at only 2% without incentives, but increases to 14% with financial and legislative support.
