Chemistry By Design is an interactive virtual flashcard that allows everyone to test their skills using known synthetic sequences. The goal is to display the reagents, starting materials and products for every single step used in constructing a natural product or pharmaceutical.
To better serve the community everyone is called to submit a synthetic sequence not yet included in the app. The app is available online or for iOs and Android devices.
Chemistry By Design is created by Professor Jon T. Njardarson (Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Arizona).

Furthermore about Chemistry, Marie Curie Actions sometime ago presented a funny video: "Chemicals having a party".

Why have neural networks won the Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry?

di Chiara Sabelli

Pubblicato il 15/10/2024

This year, Artificial Intelligence played a leading role in the Nobel Prizes for Physics and Chemistry. More specifically, it would be better to say machine learning and neural networks, thanks to whose development we now have systems ranging from image recognition to generative AI like Chat-GPT. In this article, Chiara Sabelli tells the story of the research that led physicist and biologist John J. Hopfield and computer scientist and neuroscientist Geoffrey Hinton to lay the foundations of current machine learning.

Physics

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John J. Hopfield, an American physicist and biologist from Princeton University, and to Geoffrey Hinton, a British computer scientist and neuroscientist from the University of Toronto, for utilizing tools from statistical physics in the development of methods underlying today's powerful machine learning technologies.
