Divalent cations (Mg2+, Ca2+) protect bacterial outer membrane damage by polymyxin B
, 2013 Polymyxin B interacts with divalent cations by displacing cations from their binding sites in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules. It leads to the disorganization of the outer membrane component of the Gram negative bacteria, which releases LPS ...

Prediction‐Guided Two‐Step Solid‐State Exploration of Unknown Pseudo‐Ternary Oxides
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.Prediction‐guided selection combined with two‐step solid‐state exploration enables efficient search of unknown pseudo‐ternary oxides. Broad robotic slurry screening followed by manual single‐phase isolation leads to the discovery of a new oxide, Ba5SnV6O22, showing how data‐guided experiments connect unexplored composition regions to new materials ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Apart from (transition) metal (oxo)halides only few hosts stabilize chalcogenide cations in purely oxoanionic coordination environment. Herein, we report on five borosulfates containing the Se42+ ion and characterize the compounds using X‐ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, density functional theory (DFT) calculations along with magnetic

Robot‐Assisted Measurement of the Critical Micelle Concentration
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.The study introduces (SIMO) smart integrator for manual operations, a robotic platform for precise, repeatable determination of (CMC) critical micelle concentration in surfactants. SIMO reduces standard deviation by 80% compared to manual methods. Surfactant, dye, and diluent selection, robotic protocols, and data handling are detailed.

Quantifying Structure‐Dependent Rigidity of 3D DNA Origami Boxes
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We investigate the mechanical stability of a hollow 3D DNA origami box during assembly using liquid AFM imaging and finite element simulations. As structural completeness increases from flat sheets through intermediate assemblies to a closed box, rigidity improves.
