The authors compare current machine learning algorithms with a new Explainable AI algorithm that produces a human-comprehensible decision tree alongside predictions.

The authors looked at the ability to use graphite from pencils in anodes of lithium-anode batteries.

The authors evaluated the effect of concentration and variant of N-Acetylcysteine in hydrolyzing mucus.

The authors used machine learning to predict the presence of anxiety and burnout in students based on facial expressions and demographic information.

Andrographolide, a natural compound with anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, and anti-cancer properties, can be chemically modified by adding an acetonide group to form andrographolide acetonide, which is more potent and acts as a pH-dependent prodrug. Researchers investigated the hydrolysis of this acetonide group under mildly acidic conditions.

Predicting antibody structures and antibody-antigen complexes using AlphaFold

Dust accumulation on solar panels can reduce electricity output by 20–50%, posing a major challenge for solar energy collection. Instead of altering panel design, we explored a simpler approach by modifying surface energy through nanotexturing, predicting that hydrophobic surfaces would repel both water and dust. This study found that treating glass and silicone surfaces with potassium hydroxide (KOH) for 13 and 10 minutes, respectively, created optimal nanotextures (445 nm for glass, 205 nm for silicone), significantly reducing dirt accumulation and improving solar energy capture.

The authors examine the relationships between race, racist beliefs, and perceptions of beauty across cultures and generations.

Here, in an effort to identify alternatives to oil-based plastic, the authors sought to investigate the effects of plasticizers on the mechanical properties and chemical composition of gelatin bioplastic matrices. Through measurements of their tensile strength and elongation at break, along with FTIR spectroscopy, they identified 3% w/v polyethylene glycol film as having the best performance in their study..

The authors survey how emotional responses to music differ across cultures and the impact of hearing loss on these emotional responses.
