Courtesy of the annual collections reported by Roland E. Dolle in the Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry, all three-point diverse libraries reported in the literature since 1992 have been evaluated according to their similarity at the library level (the Diversity Space approach).1 This comparison enabled the identification of several particularly promising scaffold hopping opportunities and highlighted a number of optimal libraries (surrogates) expected to reveal binding information characteristic of an entire area of chemical space. As highlighted herein, future library design pursuits would benefit from a methodology such as the Diversity Space approach to ensure access to novel areas within the chemical landscape, thereby avoiding the expenditure of additional resources to cover a previously explored region.

The Plectranthinae clade, which includes genera such as Plectranthus, Ocimum, and Aeollanthus, is well known for its diverse array of diterpenoids. While numerous studies have deepened the understanding of diterpene diversity across the clade, Aeollanthus species remain underexplored, with only two studies focusing on their diterpene profiles. The NMR-based chemical profiling of the EtOAc leaf extract of the rocky and succulent species Aeollanthus buchnerianus Briq.

Optical physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are gaining attention as a robust security solution for identification in the expanding Internet of Things (IoT). To enhance the security and functionality of PUFs, integrating multiple optical responses─such as fluorescence and structural color─into a single system is essential. These diverse optical properties enable multilevel authentication, where different layers of security can be verified under varying light conditions, greatly reducing the risk of counterfeiting.

Sensors are indispensable tools of modern life that are ubiquitously used in diverse settings ranging from smartphones and autonomous vehicles to the healthcare industry and space technology. By interfacing multiple sensors that collectively interact with the signal to be measured, one can go beyond the signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) attainable by the individual constituting elements. Such techniques have also been implemented in the quantum regime, where a linear increase in the SNR has been achieved via using entangled states.

Despite the increase in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) roles, best practices around these positions have not been established broadly, with less information available for academic departments of surgery. The vice chair for DEI in a department of surgery is charged with embedding DEI as an integral component of all operational aspects of the department in keeping with the agreed-upon definition of surgical excellence. Given the dynamic nature of the DEI space, now more than ever inspirational leaders are needed to occupy these roles to transform the surgical environment into one inclusive of all.

Identifying the scaling rules describing ecological patterns across time and space is a central challenge in ecology. Taylor's law of fluctuation scaling, which states that the variance of a population's size or density is proportional to a positive power of the mean size or density, has been widely observed in population dynamics and characterizes variability in multiple scientific domains. However, it is unclear if this phenomenon accurately describes ecological patterns across many orders of magnitude in time, and therefore links otherwise disparate observations.
