Kamijo and colleagues built a pipeline that denoises 4D-STEM scans without clean training images and then sorts crystal components automatically. It is aimed at beam-sensitive materials such as polymers, whose low-signal diffraction data are especially hard to analyse.

China's Journal Excellence Action Plan funds 450 journals and 13 domestic publishers to build prestige titles that China owns outright. One of them is Vita, a fee-free biology journal whose standing will rest on whether leading labs in China and abroad send it their best work.

A machine-learning-accelerated simulation in npj Computational Materials puts electron transfer in TiSe2/HfSe2 under 50 femtoseconds and nearly stops it in one stacking of ZrTe2/HfTe2, for under a tenth of the usual compute.

Peng and colleagues coordinate BH3 to an aziridine nitrogen, convert the adduct into a boryl radical, and let it fragment into a beta-aminoalkyl radical that copper and nickel catalysis can then couple to aryl and other partners.

Lisa Matthias of Humboldt University of Berlin and her colleagues found that the titles which switched away were disproportionately old, large and established, and that most of the switches happened from 2020 onwards.

An ab initio study in npj Computational Materials traces the figure to symmetry-enforced phonon selection rules. The effective masses it computes are comparable to cubic diamond's, so mass cannot account for the gap.

A team in Korea added orthogonal transformations to a generative model so fine-tuning would stop warping its latent space, and says the result becomes useful for hydrogen-evolution catalysts once transfer learning adds data.

A pipeline described in npj Computational Materials screened more than 27,000 concrete papers and reports an extraction F1 as high as 0.98 across several models. Rice University has a provisional patent pending on the method.

A fully time-resolved reconstruction of the defect network at a Sigma5(210) tilt boundary in aluminium finds migration carried by short-lived loops, which leaves the glide-mobility term in grain-boundary theory without an object to describe.

A UK molecular biologist says dozens of cell-ageing studies used an antibody against a bacterial protein to detect a mammalian one. It is his third reagent flag in about three months.

SeDeNet trains on noisy data alone and reports 95 percent or better parameter accuracy at one twentieth the exposure. That moves the photon budget into software, if you trust the output.

A Scientific Reports workflow reports a held-out AUC of 0.91 against 0.81 for PCA and 0.75 for mRMR on the UMMC benchmark. The authors call the findings preliminary and externally unvalidated.

A published framework extracts an impurity Green's function on IBM processors using 8 qubits and 1 ancilla. That register size puts the near-term burden on circuit compression, not on qubit count.
