Artificial intelligence is going to revolutionise chemistry

Whenever I see people talking about how they want to see raw data I can't help but think that everyone means something different when they say raw

Mix two motors of opposite polarity with microtubules and they will partition space !
Microtubules will get organized in polar and active barriers, sorting the two motors in separated domains, leading to the emergence of a new type of patterns.

1. Infrared
2. Visible (obviously)
3. Ultraviolet, and
4. A composite showing how UV is beyond the violet in a rainbow, and IR beyond the red end.

The starter packs are good but when do we get booster packs

Lots of people following me this morning even though so far I have only posted a picture of my cat, so I am raising the stakes and posting TWO cats

First attempt in a (loosely defined) Single-Molecule Biophysics starter pack. Please share and (self-) nominate. go.bsky.app/CteFZM5

🚨 Preprint news!! 🚨 The collaboration with @ckinzthompson on a novel definition of resolution and how it can be used to calculate the local atomic resolution and map-to-model correspondence in cryoEM structures is finally on bioRxiv!!!! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵(1/6)

If you put a ring on the floor a cat will get in it

This was very useful although it occasionally finds completely the wrong person.
