AI scientists are emerging as a new interface for scientific computing. These agents can read papers, write code, generate hypotheses, call APIs, inspect files, and iterate on results. But science isn’t software engineering. There is no test suite that turns green when a hypothesis is correct; discovery is iterative, uncertain, and grounded in the physical world. You can’t take a general coding…

The development of socially acceptable nuclear reactors requires that they are safe, clean, efficient, economical, and sustainable. Meeting these requirements calls for new approaches, driving growing interest in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and in Generation IV designs. SMRs aim to improve project economics by standardising designs and shifting construction to controlled manufacturing…

Proteins rarely function in isolation as individual monomers. Most biological processes are governed by proteins interacting with other proteins, forming protein complexes whose structures are described in the hierarchy of protein structure as the quaternary representation. This represents one level of complexity up from tertiary representations, the 3D structure of monomers…
