Right now, AI systems are evolving in that they’ve gone from just being able to give shoppers recommendations to making purchases automatically, creating a new reality for consumers.

Major scientific advances often require patience, and this discovery is a prime example. After nearly 50 years of theory and repeated failed attempts by research groups around the world, David Scheschkewitz, Professor of General and Inorganic Chemistry at Saarland University, and his doctoral student Ankur — collaborating with Bernd Morgenstern from Saarland University’s X-Ray Diffraction Service Centre — have achieved a long sought breakthrough. Their findings have been published in the prestigious journal Science. So what exactly did the team accomplish? They successfully synthesized pentasilacyclopentadienide, a compound that chemists have tried to create for decades. While the name may sound…
