In a static image, Erasmus appears indistinguishable from any typical comet. However, as time progressed, its tail revealed a lively wag, reminiscent of an animated and spirited puppy. Credit: NASA. Renowned astronomer David H. Levy once likened comets to cats, asserting, "They both have tails and do precisely what they want." With his extensive experience...
Interfacial nonlinear susceptibility in twisted bilayer WS2. Credit: Nature Photonics (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41566-023-01318-6 Physics and materials science comprehensively understand the interaction of light with naturally occurring materials. However, over the last few decades, scientists have engineered metamaterials capable of interacting with light in unconventional ways, surpassing the inherent physical limitations of naturally occurring materials. A metamaterial typically consists...
This diagram outlines the various phases of the analysis process, encompassing the creation of interaction graphs derived from X-ray structures. These graphs are instrumental in training and testing a Graph Neural Network (GNN) to forecast numerical affinity values. The subsequent steps involve pinpointing the significance of edges in making predictions and identifying subgraphs that...
