Understanding stable adsorption states in flexible soft porous coordination polymers through free energy profiles
Soft porous coordination polymers show metastable states in volume while varying loading. The flexibility of the linkers affects the resulting configurations.

Self-consistent field theory and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of pentablock copolymer melt phase behavior
Using a combined theory-simulation approach we rapidly screen a large polymer design space to identify rules for desired morphologies as well as the chain conformations associated with the theory-predicted phase behavior.

DORA-XGB: an improved enzymatic reaction feasibility classifier trained using a novel synthetic data approach
We outline a method for synthetically generating negative data by considering alternative reaction centers on small-molecule substrates that are known to participate in enzymatic reactions.

Two conjectures on 3D Voronoi structures: a toolkit with biomedical case studies
Voronoi structures can model a wide variety of environments, but their unique design requirements hamper their efficient creation. This work introduces four, accurate equations, including two new conjectures that greatly increase this efficiency.
