Lighting-environment-adjustable block-type 3D indoor PV for wireless sensor communication
Abstract Demand is increasing for photovoltaics (PVs) as a result of the development of the Internet of Things and edge computing technologies. As the lighting environment is different for the applications, thus, PVs must be adjustable to various light environments in which systems are installed. PVs should therefore be capable of easily changing their morphology…

Living guidelines for generative AI — why scientists must oversee its use
Nearly one year after the technology firm OpenAI released the chatbot ChatGPT, companies are in an arms race to develop ‘generative’ artificial-intelligence (AI) systems that are ever more powerful. Each version adds capabilities that increasingly encroach on human skills. By producing text, images, videos and even computer programs in response to human prompts, generative AI…

A narrow high-altitude jet in Jupiter’s equatorial atmosphere
JWST observations of Jupiter reveal a narrow and intense atmospheric jet at the equator of the planet, close to its tropopause. The jet is manifest in the fast motions of equatorial hazes and is most likely a deep counterpart of the equatorial oscillations observed in Jupiter’s stratosphere.

AI-powered structure-based drug design inspired by the lock-and-key model
Inspired by the classic lock-and-key model and advances in equivariant deep network design, we present a structure-based drug design model, SurfGen, which uses two types of equivariant graph neural networks to learn on protein surfaces and geometric structures to directly design small-molecule drugs. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution Access…
