Seizing the opportunity for a re-introduction #artistsontwitter! I am graphics designer that strives to translate scientific concepts into attractive and striking visuals. More of my work here: sciencebrush.design/

QCell is on the cover of AI for Science! 🧬 Building general-purpose ML force fields for biomolecules requires diverse, high-quality QM data covering all four major biomolecular classes. Unlike materials, complexity here arises mainly from conformational space within a limited set of recurring building blocks. Though carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids account for around 40% of cellular dry mass, they remain underrepresented in QM training data. QCell is built to close that gap, contributing 525k new QM calculations (2–402 atoms) for these three classes, plus relevant solvated ion clusters and dimers, extending coverage beyond small molecules and proteins. Combined with existing datasets (QM7-X, GEMS, and QCML), it brings the collection to 41M molecular systems, all computed at a consistent, non-empirical hybrid PBE0+MBD(-NL) level. We validate structural diversity and train an MLFF that reaches an FMAE of 1 kcal/mol/Å across most subsets. We hope QCell will be useful for developing more general and accurate ML force fields (ours will be out soon!), and will inspire efforts to close the remaining (still wide) gaps across the biomolecules expressed in living cells. Thanks to @sciencebrush for the design!

A belated re-post after a brief sci-media hiatus - congratulations to @connorjtou & the team! We sought to overcome a key challenge for inserting large DNAs into the genome: toxicity & innate immune responses. 🧬 🚫 Our paper was published in @Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

🧬 New paper out in @Nature! We used CRISPR to selectively kill cancer cells based on a single-letter mutation in their RNA. The story I want to highlight: KRAS — one of the most notorious drivers of human cancer. A short thread on what we found 🧵

Our latest cover art in Nano Letters! The question that Prof. Xiaohang Li and his team from KAUST tried to answer is whether ultrawide bandgap semiconducts can operate at deep cryogenic temperature; the answer was yes! In their paper the team reports the first cryogenic Ga2O3 transistor operating at 2K! Applications range from space exploration and extreme environments to superconducting systems and quantum computers. More of our latest art at sciencebrush.design

Amazing to see our work featured on the cover of @EMBO Molecular Systems Biology! Through integrated scRNA and scATAC we uncover not only cell type but vascular site specific enhancers that reflect developmental memory and regulate key drivers of disease risk. @StanfordDeptMed

Pumped that our work is now featured on the cover of @NatureCVR!! This artwork represents ADAR1 RNA editing within the vascular wall, controlling dsRNA sensing. @StanfordDeptMed @StanfordMed nature.com/articles/s44161-0… Great experience working with @sciencebrush for artwork.

Happy to share our new article in @ChemicalScience If you are interested in twisted molecules take a look. Thanks to @sciencebrush for the art doi.org/10.1039/D5SC04257G

Happy to share that the Supplementary Cover Art for our manuscript on Porous and Self-Doped Conjugated Polyelectrolytes (10.1021/acs.chemmater.5c01255) is now published in Chemistry of Materials. Thanks to the @sciencebrush team for the 🔥design!

🔋 Did you know some Li-ion battery materials have a memory? A fascinating new study shows that certain phase-separating electrodes like the ones made from LFP, LTO, and NVP can "remember" their charging history, displaying a rate-dependent memory effect under fast-charging conditions. Using operando X-ray diffraction and advanced modelling, the research reveals how particle-level kinetics shape large-scale electrode behavior. These insights could reshape how we think about battery management systems, especially for fast-charging applications. The cover artwork for this study was proudly made by ScienceBrush Design (sciencebrush.design/), where we bring complex scientific ideas to life through visual storytelling. 📖 Kinetically induced memory effect in Li-ion batteries pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

Today at @RowanSci, we're releasing Egret-1, a family of open-source neural network potentials. On lots of benchmarks, the Egret-1 models match or exceed the accuracy of quantum chemistry for organic & biomolecular simulation. Here's me and @manntis4 with a brief video intro:
