  • Cooperation is crucial for human prosperity, and population structure fosters it through pairwise interactions and coordinated behavior in larger groups. A recent study explores the evolution of behavioral strategies in higher-order population structures, including pairwise and multi-way interactions to reveal that higher-order interactions promote cooperation across networks, especially when they are formed by conjoined communities.

  • Determining what guest can effectively bind in a host, or the reverse, is a central challenge in chemistry. To address this, an electron-density-based transformer method of generating and optimizing host–guest binders is proposed, applied to two different host systems and validated by experiment.
