FAIR Data and Collaborative Workflow for R&D

FAIR data principles are essential for effective collaboration in R&D. This article explores how to implement these principles in practice, with a focus on data management, sharing, and collaboration.

LLMs, Thin Slices, and the Secret to a Great Scientific Presentation

Delivering a compelling presentation is a key skill for scientists—and the opening minutes often matter most. New research shows that AI can evaluate just the beginning of your talk and still provide meaningful, targeted feedback. It’s a fast, low-effort way to sharpen your delivery where it really counts.

Building AI Agents for Chemistry — Lessons from ICLR 2025

ICLR2025 showcased a surge of LLMs to diverse chemistry challenges, from retrosynthesis planning to materials discovery. A clear theme emerged — successful systems wrapped LLMs inside agentic workflows that orchestrate tasks, integrate chemical context, and refine outputs through feedback loops.

AI Agent for Patent Analysis — An Example

AI agents are modular, autonomous workflows powered by LLMs to solve complex tasks via a divide‑and‑conquer approach. They have the potential to automate tedious R&D tasks, such as patent analysis, freeing scientists to focus on genuine innovation.
