Excited to share our new publication in Organic Chemistry Frontiers! Together with @capvalr, Miguel Angel Vazquez, @APoater, and @OscarHalla, we explored the reactivity of 1,2,5-azadiborolidine derivatives toward CO. 📖 Read the full article here: doi.org/10.1039/D5QO01081K

「有機合成はコスパが悪い」と言って、大学院から研究室に入ってきた学生が、実験よりも英会話に励み、結局コンサルに就職していくという話を聞きました。こんな状況では、日本の有機化学から新たなノーベル賞受賞者が生まれることもなくなるかもしれませんね。

私が学生の頃、「日本人がノーベル化学賞を取る」と言われていたのは、クロスカップリング（鈴木・根岸）、北川先生のMOF、硤合先生の不斉増幅、そして本多–藤嶋効果の光触媒。次々と現実になりました。残すは藤嶋先生。

おお、硤合先生がついに。不斉自己触媒反応、不斉増殖、生命のホモキラリティーの起源。学生の時に初めて聞いた時は興奮しました。

In our new @NatRevChem review, @fmbickelhaupt, @miquelsola, and I revisit the concept 200 years after benzene’s discovery (from carbon rings to metal clusters and excited states). How do we know when “aromatic” fits? The evidence matters. nature.com/articles/s41570-0…

In 1936, Alan Turing imagined a computer by thinking about someone doing mathematics on paper: read symbols, write symbols, repeat. 90 years later, LLMs are scaling up that loop and leading us to some truly remarkable discoveries.

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics. The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra. The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.
