We gave 30 AI models 42 truly bad papers and asked them to extend the research. They did, 93% of the time.
How bad? Cold fusion bad. Wakefield MMR <-> autism bad.
Often the model named the discredited paper first. Then it helped anyway. Here is Gemini on Wakefield 1998.

Martin Head-Gordon, one of John Pople's former graduate students, delivered the fifth John A. Pople Lecture in Theoretical & Computational Chemistry. He shared, “What I learned from John Pople is that we should aim for the right answers for the right reasons.” #ChemSky
J.J. Thomson announced the discovery of the electron this month 129 years ago, in "Cathode Rays," Phil. Mag., 44, 293-316 (1897). (G.J. Stoney had already coined the word "electron" in 1891.) #ChemSky #ChemChat 🧪 Read his paper here: web.lemoyne.edu/giunta/thoms...

A new form of boron, Imma-B60, conducts electricity about ten million times better than β-boron and deforms plastically by about 23% through dislocation slip. It was made by forming a sodium-boron precursor at high pressure, then driving the sodium out.
This expert white paper from Technobis explores two efficient, data-driven methods for generating robust solubility measurements.

Not every molecule is the final product, sometimes it's the starting point for something more interesting. Ethyl 4-(allyloxy)salicylate is a building block for complex compounds. Its allyl group and salicylate core create an interesting ¹H NMR fingerprint.🧪
A true firework of covalent drug discovery to close out the Covalent Modulation in Drug Discovery Conference #CovModDrugDiscov!
Ed Tate presented a variety of exciting projects of his group.
