A comprehensive 2023 roadmap for Venus exploration synthesizing open questions about the planet’s evolution from potentially habitable to extreme greenhouse state, detailing the coordinated VERITAS, DAVINCI, and EnVision missions planned for the 2030s and identifying future technology requirements for answering fundamental habitability questions.
A deep dive into the physical limits of life on Venus, reviewing Charles Cockell’s foundational 1999 analysis while connecting it to modern discoveries like the 2020 phosphine detection and upcoming DAVINCI+ missions.
A comprehensive 2013 review explaining how InChI emerged as the global standard for chemical structure identifiers, covering its history as a response to the Internet’s need for non-proprietary molecular linking, its governance under IUPAC, and the technical layers that ensure uniqueness across diverse chemical databases.
Can we create a SMILES-like notation for nanomaterials? A collaborative workshop tackles the challenge of representing complex, multi-component nanomaterials with a proposed extension to the established InChI system.
Performance evaluation of MolRec at the CLEF 2012 competition reveals a large performance gap between the automatic evaluation set (94-96% accuracy) and the manual evaluation set of complex patent structures (46-59% accuracy), with systematic analysis of failure modes including character grouping bugs, touching characters, and four-way junction vectorization.
Basilevsky and Head’s comprehensive synthesis reveals a planet that undergoes catastrophic global resurfacing events. We explore the “stagnant lid” model, the synchronous stratigraphy, coronae, and the divergence of Venus’s geological history from Earth’s.
ICML 2025 analysis rigorously quantifying when non-conservative force models (which predict forces directly) fail in molecular dynamics, demonstrating simulation instabilities and proposing hybrid architectures that capture speed benefits without sacrificing physical correctness.
