Summary: Vast international resources are wasted on irreproducible research each year, but reproducible scientific software applications can be created by meeting simple design goals. This reproducible design framework is valuable for developers and users of any scientific software, helping the scientific community create reproducible methods.

Summary: Phase separation is a crucial mechanism for the compartmentalization of proteins in cells, with predictors currently biased towards IDR-containing proteins and overlooking those with low IDR content. Incorporating features like protein-protein interactions, post-translational modifications, and immunofluorescence images is essential for accurate phase separation prediction in future studies.

Summary: In order to understand the limitations of various approximation schemes, researchers compared them to direct results at finite baryon density, using reweighting techniques without an overlap problem. They calculated the equation of state of the quark gluon plasma and covered a wide range of baryochemical potential.

Summary: A systematic study was conducted on the superconducting and normal-state anisotropy of Fe1+yTe0.6Se0.4 single crystals with controlled excess Fe levels, revealing an increase in the anisotropy of effective mass with excess Fe. While the superconducting state shows almost isotropic behavior at low temperatures, a significant anisotropy is observed near T-c in the normal state. The discrepancy in anisotropies between the SC and normal states is attributed to the large anisotropy of scattering time tau(ab)/tau(c).

Summary: Chemical pressure effects on electron-doped FeSe were investigated by applying gate voltage to increase Tc, while positive and negative chemical pressures suppressed Tc. The response of undoped and electron-doped FeSe to chemical pressure differs, possibly due to differences in density of states at the Fermi energy.

Summary: In this study, an innovative interaction screening strategy called CoPIC was used to map the interaction network among viral proteins related to RTC. The results identified 47 binary interactions and numerous ternary complexes, revealing a complex interaction network among RTC-related factors. This presents an opportunity to understand SARS-CoV-2 biology and develop therapeutic interventions for COVID-19.

Summary: Membraneless compartments, known as condensates, provide chemically distinct environments and spatially organize the cell. P granules in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans are RNA rich protein condensates with properties of liquid droplets, such as spherical shape and fast diffusion. The response of P granule condensates to temperature changes suggests that their assembly and disassembly are governed by phase separation at local thermal equilibria, despite the nonequilibrium nature of the cytoplasm on larger scales.

Summary: Recent progress in the study of ternary superhydrides has confirmed their potential for synthesizing room-temperature superconductors. In this study, the stability and superconductivity of yttrium hydrides and praseodymium were theoretically examined. Three phases were identified to maintain thermodynamic and dynamic stability under a pressure of 100-200 GPa. The superconducting properties of these phases were analyzed using the Macmillan formula, and it was found that Amm2-YPrH18 and P6m2-YPrH18 have a superconducting transition temperature close to 46 K at 200 GPa.

Summary: Recent experiments show that FeSe provides the possibility to study bulk superconductivity in the crossover regime between BCS and BEC. The research found a distinct state with large spin polarization in FeSe under strong magnetic fields along the c axis, indicating a high spatial homogeneity of the bulk superconducting state. Despite pronounced spin fluctuations, FeSe exhibits an unusual field-induced superconducting state in the BCS-BEC crossover regime.

Summary: The use of neutron macromolecular crystallography (NMX) is expanding rapidly, but neutron sources are weaker than X-ray sources. Larger crystals are needed for neutron diffraction studies, so improvements in methods and instrumentation are necessary. A rational approach to crystal growth bench has been developed to control size and number of crystals generated.

Summary: The outbreak of COVID-19 has highlighted the need for efficient treatment strategies. Targeting the main protease (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2, our study identified four novel inhibitors with promising inhibitory concentrations and binding affinities. These inhibitors have low toxicity and can be potential candidates for further COVID-19 research.
