Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

This is one of the more interesting works I've participated in. NMR holds a lot of promise for understanding structural features in covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Layer stacking, staggering, distances, and more!

Someone on here compared AI produced material as "digital asbestos " which in a few decades' time we will have to work out how to eradicate from the fabric of research.
From my own academic research, even pre LLMs there was a huge danger of zombie factoids that begin in a respectable publication by mistake and then get reprinted for decades because no one is backtracing to the original source. Once bad info gets into the system it can take years to clear it out.
I've seen numerous examples of this in recent days - we're at a point where some reporters are using LLMs as a source and not even remotely properly factchecking, but also where LLM generated material is making its way into other material and being unknowingly reproduced by others.

Metal-organic frameworks can selectively adsorb and separate gases...but where are the gases adsorbed in the system, how do the adsorbed gases move, and what host-guest interactions are in play? Check out the new preprint from the @westernu.bsky.social Huang and Karttunen labs! #NMRchat
