Autonomous Distance Learning in Chemistry and Beyond! Using specific examples, some of which originate from online teaching in school during the COVID-19 lockdown in spring 2020, it is demonstrated how autonomous learning in chemistry can be supported, also in the long-term. Examples include the use of electronic media, experiments carried out at home, and discussion of current topics in the media that relate to chemistry to show how learning can be encouraged and the student motivation maintained. The aim is to encourage, on the one hand, self-guided learning to fulfill given study goals and on the other, autonomous learning out of curiosity and, later in life, to have the toolset to meet professional challenges.

Bruises can affect the appearance and nutritional value of apples and cause economic losses. Therefore, the accurate detection of bruise levels and bruise time of apples is crucial. In this paper, we proposed a method that combines a self-designed multispectral imaging system with deep learning to accurately detect the level and time of bruising on apples.

Adenosine receptors (A, A, A, A) play critical roles in cellular signaling and are implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including inflammations and cancer. The main aim of this research was to investigate structure-activity relationships (SAR) to derive models that describe the selectivity and activity of inhibitors targeting Adenosine receptors. Structural information for 16,312 inhibitors was collected from BindingDB and analyzed using machine learning methods.

Antibodies play a key role in medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Accurately predicting antibody-antigen binding is essential for developing effective treatments. Traditional protein-protein interaction prediction methods often fall short because they do not account for the unique structural and dynamic properties of antibodies and antigens.

Identification of crystal structures is a crucial stage in the exploration of novel functional materials. This procedure is usually time-consuming and can be false-positive or false-negative. This necessitates a significant level of expert proficiency in the field of crystallography and, especially, requires deep experience in perovskite-related structures of hybrid perovskites.
