Research led by the Institute for Molecular Science/SOKENDAI achieved the first real-time visualization of how “excited-state aromaticity” emerges within just hundreds of femtoseconds and then triggers a molecule to change from bent to planar structure in a few picoseconds. Their findings lay the groundwork for designing more efficient photoactive materials, such as sensors and light-driven molecular switches, by leveraging the power of aromaticity in excited states. https://lnkd.in/gbFgaFXf Osaka University #chemistry #science

An #AI model developed by National Taiwan University scientists can accurately identify gene mutations in acute myeloid #leukemia cells by analyzing images of bone marrow samples. The tool can potentially aid doctors in diagnosis and treatment, without expensive genetic tests. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gm8v4KnC #oncology #medicine #cancer #biotech

#DidYouKnow: Geckos can climb vertical surfaces at up to 2 miles per hour! The sticky secret of a gecko’s foot has inspired scientists to develop #robots that can pick up and release fragile objects without damage.
