Shaping the Future of InChI: Technical Meeting at RWTH Aachen, July 2025 - InChI Trust
Over two highly productive days, leading cheminformatics researchers, developers, and practitioners came together at RWTH Aachen University to drive forward the evolution of the IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI). The focus was ambitious: tackling complex stereochemical representation in inorganics and polymers, exploring enhancements for atropisomerism, refining file format requirements, and charting a clear roadmap for […]

A MiG-29 in North Korean livery. No match for anything in South Korea’s air force, but better than the rest of the North Korean inventory. NK still flies MiG-17 derivatives, literally a 1950 design
The leader of the US Indo-Pacific Command revealed that Russia has reached an agreement with North Korea to send MiG-29 and Su-27 fighter jets to Pyongyang in exchange for North Korean troops to assist in Moscow’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

Whitby Museum is fabulous. Ships in bottles. Airships in lightbulbs. Bar shot from Trafalgar as sundial. Fossils.
At the 1851 Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, London, the latest in scientific innovation was presented.
I present to you:
George Merryweather's "TEMPEST PROGNOSTICATOR" which uses leeches to predict approaching storms.
12 leeches are arranged in pint bottles around the central pillar with a bell.
