ML can solve PDEs – but precision🔬is still a challenge. Towards high-precision methods for scientific problems, we introduce BWLer 🎳, a new architecture for physics-informed learning achieving (near-)machine-precision (up to 10⁻¹² RMSE) on benchmark PDEs.
🧵How it works:

Here's to @LucksLab killing it on @WBEZreset today, laying out the damage that the random ransacking of @DeptofDefense grants means for edu, innovation & water 🚰 🧪safety.

We are proud to share that Julius Lucks, co-director of @NUSynBio, has been elected a 2024 AAAS Fellow! We are so fortunate to benefit from his passion and commitment to research excellence and innovation. Congratulations @LucksLab!
Professors Julius Lucks and James Rondinelli have been elected 2024 fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the largest general scientific society in the world.
Congrats, Julius and James!

Contamination Detection Tool Enables Highly Sensitive Water Testing
A product of multi-disciplinary Northwestern Engineering research, the cantilever-based test detects harmful chemicals in water at concentrations down to parts per billion.

A new joint initiative between @NUFeinbergMed and @NorthwesternEng aims to steer the development of new research “neighborhoods” on Northwestern’s Chicago campus, expanding on current research priorities, which include #syntheticbiology. bit.ly/3QH9HmH

Thanks to a “cool trick in biochemistry,” the system developed by Professor Julius Lucks that monitors contaminants in drinking water is now sensitive enough to detect tiny nucleic acids.

We’re thrilled to have collaborated with the amazing @LucksLab on this work! We’re proud to have been part of this journey. Excited for what’s to come in cell-free biosensing!
ROSALIND 3.0 is out in @nchembio !
Cell-free biosensors are revolutionizing point-of-care diagnostics, but we need greater sensitivity to detect harmful chemicals. Enter: Polymerase Strand Recycling (PSR) — a game-changer for signal amplification! 🌟

Stemloop Reads: ROSALIND 3.0
Earlier this week, an article from @LucksLab was published in Nature Chemical Biology. This research expands upon ROSALIND, the technology that powers Stemloop’s biosensors, to become more sensitive using a new technology.

As a new EPA rule says that almost all lead drinking water pipes must be replaced in the next decade, @northwestern scholars and community partners explain how at-home biosensor tests can help Americans easily check for lead in their water. #GetTheLeadOut iwaponline.com/aqua/article/…
