Congratulations to Henri B. Kagan and Kensō Soai, the laureates of the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry! They are sharing the award equally for their work on designing reactions that selectively form only one enantiomer of a chiral molecule. Read the ACS press release: www.acs.org/pressroom/ne...

I guess this goes to my point, we cannot compete therefore we tax!

And in Europe we keep hiding behind alibis ... the Chinese took the electric car market, they innovated it and changed it. If we don't start to invest seriously in research and innovation, we will never compete again...but I guess we can alaways raise taxes and have the worst goods

Spent a week in China ... a real look into the future. 2/3 of the cars are electric, air and noise pollution went down drastically. BYD commercialise a model with 950km range ...

I think AI will be eventually useful and it is already on some stuff. At the moment the cost-benefit analysis is not so good though.

Stefano Sanvito @ssanvito.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
There is an interesting more philosophical point. Suppose the AI becomes perfect, then it will write perfect proposals and review them perfectly. What will determine success then?

Stefano Sanvito @ssanvito.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
Sorry, yes, AI review is bollock ... although I have plenty of evidence that this is already happening!! The best way to do it is probably panel review (ERC style), but this costs a fortune and it is hugely time consuming ... talk by experience.

Difficult to see how to fix this. Limiting the number of applications changes little, the net result is the same but push down the road the problem.

Very proud of this new work: a very honest analysis on how symbolic regression can help (or not) to construct kinetic energy functionals. Fantastic job from the very talented Michael Mitchell and Teresa Del Aguila Ferrandis. pubs.aip.org/aip/aco/arti... @crann-tcd.bsky.social

Benefits and pitfalls of symbolic regression as a tool to learn kinetic-energy density functionals
Orbital-free density functional theory can potentially make electronic structure calculations linear scaling. This requires the knowledge of the non-interacting
