1/10 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. "If you wind the whole thing down, where are the new ideas going to come from?" wbez.org/reset-with-sasha-an…

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. spr.ly/6018aVfV8

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! 🌟 nature.com/articles/s41589-0…

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/…
