Chemistry
Using quantum computers already today
Research
PSI
Understanding how chemical reactions really happen at a quantum mechanical level is difficult. As experimental tools such as the SwissFEL enable new insights into the ultrafast changes that govern them, the data becomes too complicated to model classically. Here, simulations on quantum computers could help. 
An AI leap into chemical synthesis
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists introduce ChemCrow, a large language model-based AI system that revolutionizes chemistry by integrating 18 advanced tools for tasks like organic synthesis and drug discovery. ChemCrow streamlines complex processes in chemical research, making it more efficient for experts and novices alike.
How to clean up New Delhi’s smoggy air
Research
PSI
An international study led by atmospheric researchers at PSI shows for the first time what portions of particulates in the air over northern India are especially harmful to health.
AI designs new drugs based on protein structures
Research
ETH Zurich
A new computer process developed by chemists at ETH Zurich makes it possible to generate active pharmaceutical ingredients quickly and easily based on a protein’s three-dimensional surface. The new process could revolutionise drug research.
Energy scientists unravel the mystery of gold's glow
Research
EPFL
EPFL researchers have developed the first comprehensive model of the quantum-mechanical effects behind photoluminescence in thin gold films; a discovery that could drive the development of solar fuels and batteries.
Protecting art and passwords with biochemistry
Research
ETH Zurich
A new molecular test method helps to prove the authenticity of works of art. The new method could also help to make passwords secure against quantum computers.
