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.

Just managed 10k for first time in ages! 🙌 @jochenbrandt.bsky.social, you were absolutely on the money with part a), thus it’s only right that I follow your advice in part b) 😁
a) Calf stretches. b) Get yourself a (secondhand) Ninja Creami and make some homemade ice-cream. The engineering alone is fascinating - you freeze your mixture as a big block and then use the machine's blade spinning at 2000 rpm to shave it into tiny ice crystals.
