1. microfluidics-chemical-computation- June, 2026 #

Soft Hardware, Flowing Software: explainer, demo & research

A beginner-friendly explanation, a runnable software demo, and an in-progress computational research study built around the paper:

Soft Hardware, Flowing Software: Reconfigurable Microfluidics for Adaptable Chemical Computation Swinkels, Dúzs, Skarsetz, Nishiyama & Walther, Advanced Materials, June 2026. Advanced Materials (Wiley) · Open access (CC-BY)

2. LabVerify: Lab interface for Biotech Researchers operating OpenTron machines- June, 2026 #

A verification layer for agentic lab control. A scientist describes a liquid-handling protocol in plain English: labverify generates it, verifies it is mechanically correct before a real robot runs it, and drives the instrument. The headline check: it catches the silent error that ruins an assay (ask for 200 µL with a 50 µL tip, and the robot quietly splits it into 4×50 µL on the wrong tip) before anything moves.

3. Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Chemotherapy Pharmacokinetics: Benchmarking the Clinical Estimator and Exposing Parameter Identifiability- June, 2026 #

A small, self-contained PINN project that uses the 2-compartment pharmacokinetic model, the model that clinical pharmacologists actually use to dose doxorubicin, paclitaxel, methotrexate, cisplatin and similar cytotoxic chemotherapies and benchmarks a PINN against the standard clinical estimator and a physics-agnostic neural baseline.

4. Physics-Aware Auxiliary Losses Improve Out-of-Distribution Generalization of a GNN Synthesizability Filter- May, 2026 #

A graph neural network for predicting whether a molecule is synthesizable, with optional physics-grounded auxiliary losses (Bertz topological complexity + MMFF94 strain energy) layered on the GNN backbone. The research question: do physics-aware aux losses improve out-of-distribution generalization over a pure data-driven baseline?

5. The Metric Picks the Winner: Evaluation Choice Flips Model Rankings for Drug-Response Prediction in Unseen Chemistry- May, 2026 #
