A recent study published 26 May estimates a cumulative monetised impact of at least £1.8 billion on UK science and economy from the UK's synchrotron, Diamond Light Source, reflecting favourably with the £1.2 billion investment made in the facility to date. And it costs less than a cup of coffee as each taxpayer contributes only £2.45 a year towards it. The study measures Diamond's scientific, technological, societal, and economic benefits and highlights the significant impact it has achieved to date.

Machine learning-based systems hope to outperform expert-guided reaction planning technology, finds Andy Extance When IBM’s Deep Blue supercomputer beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997, few chemists must have realised that this might signify a win for them too. But Bartosz Grzybowski did. Then a PhD student at Harvard University in the US, outside chemistry he plays the card game bridge avidly. Grzybowski’s opponents were interested in algorithms like Deep Blue’s. ‘I started thinking, why couldn’t this be done for molecules?’ he recalls. In particular, might similar al...

Monash University Australian scientists pave the way to the first International standards needed to safeguard against contamination from nuclear testing More than 100kg of highly toxic uranium (U) and plutonium (Pu) was dispersed in the form of tiny ‘hot’ radioactive particles after the British detonated nine atomic bombs in remote areas of South Australia, including Maralinga. Scientists have new evidence to show these radioactive particles persist in soils to this day, more than 60 years after the detonations. Previously, we had limited understanding of how Pu was released from these �...
