He is an antibiotics researcher who not only promises new antibiotics, but also to make existing antibiotics more efficient. The potential should be peer reviewed. Not particularly novel in its methods, all the big ones use ‘AI’ to find new molecules. Standard problems of antimicrobiotical research apply to his team…

Together with Finnish amateur photographers, Prof. Palmroth and her team discovered a new type of aurora, named the dunes. The dunes present a new opportunity to investigate ignorosphere, a layer of upper atmosphere that is notoriously difficult to observe. The team published a high impact paper linking the dunes to…

Scientists drown in a flood of pseudo-digitalized PDF articles and research is seriously flawed: results cannot be reproduced, peer-review is defunct, there is increasing redundancy. Global challenges (e.g. COVID19 pandemic) require interdisciplinarity and integrating bits and pieces from different disciplines. The ORKG connects various ideas, approaches, methods and results in…

A kilometre scale lunar seismometer array can detect the minuscule vibrations that are caused by gravitational waves which stretch and squeeze the Moon and be a sub-Hz gravitational wave detector.

Andrea Fischer and colleagues present the first dating of glacier ice using less than 2 mL STP of argon from ∼5 kg of ice, finally opening the door for radioargon dating in glaciology. Alpine summit glaciers have a characteristic age range between 100 and 1,000 years. Reliable dating is the…

In the 20th Century, the Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) was observed in atom gases at the temperatures close to the absolute zero (Nobel Prize in Physics 2001). Then, Kavokin and co-authors have predicted and experimentally demonstrated BEC of light-matter quasiparticles, exciton-polaritons, at the room temperature. This major breakthrough in condensed matter…
