There are a lot of problems here, to say the least. The biggest might be that they sent *all* the proposals to *several* AI models. I hope they disclaimed that beforehand because i am not sure i would participate to a call like this.

Circularly Polarized Lasing From Amplified Geometric Chirality of Twisted Nanoplatelet Assemblies
Twisted nanoplatelet assemblies unlock intrinsic geometric chirality and amplify it into strong circularly polarized emission, without any chiral ligands or external templates. Embedded in a high-qua....

In case you missed it: @chemicalscience.rsc.org now charges an APC of £2,850 per paper. It was previously free (diamond OA), and in my view it contributed greatly to the appeal and success of Chem Sci. Sad to see the RSC go that way…
For submissions from 1 July 2026 an APC will apply to all articles accepted in Chemical Science. Use our journal finder to check if your APC is covered by an institutional agreement with us. Note, if your institution has an agreement with us that covers APCs, you will be notified of this at article acceptance. Details of the APC and discounted rates are found here.

Get your manuscript submission ready with our submission checker tool. You can instantly check against Chemical Science's guidelines and requirements, and receive helpful hints to get you ready to submit.

Also I am obsessed that "fluorescence" was coined in the footnote of Stokes 1852 paper. He was like -- if opalescence can be named after opals, why not name this glowing after fluorspar? And I think that is cool royalsocietypublishing.org/rstl/article...
A screenshot from On the change of refrangibility of light by Stokes. Page 15 of the document. He says, " I confess I do not like this term (dispersive reflexion) I am almost inclined to coin a word and call the appearence fluorescence from fluor-spar, as the analagos term opalescence is derived from the name of a mineral.

Over the past decade, Beijing has experienced one of the most remarkable cycling renaissances in the world, powered by an innovation that has quietly transformed everyday mobility: dockless bike-sharing. Millions of residents suddenly rediscovered the joy of the bicycle, without needing to own one.🧵
