- 2026-10-19Six foundation interatomic potentials are pushed onto disordered carbon, where low energy and force errors do not reveal the failures that binding curves and dynamics exposeLevel 3 · Checked against existing evidence
- 2026-10-08Computing the Coulomb repulsion from first principles takes about 40 K off Mg2IrH6's predicted superconducting temperatureLevel 2 · Computed
- 2026-09-24HetCat26: a model's rank on general materials benchmarks says little about how it handles catalysisLevel 2 · Computed
- 2026-09-22An LLM-guided AI finds the sequence rule for RNA Pol II pausing, then helps overturn the pause-release modelLevel 4 · Tested in the physical world
- 2026-09-20Cambridge's BRIDGE-AD nominates a lysosomal gene for Alzheimer's, then tests it in microgliaLevel 4 · Tested in the physical world
- 2026-02-06Counting the cells a compound leaves alive predicts popular bioactivity benchmarks about as well as Cell Painting models, because many of their assays measure cell deathLevel 2 · Computed
Graded by how far the evidence went, not how good the result is. See the methodology.
