🤔 What if AI could not only automate scientific experiments, but also design and build the laboratories needed to perform them? We are excited to introduce Self-Building Labs (SBL), a new paradigm for autonomous scientific laboratories! 🌐 self-building-labs.github.io 📜 arxiv.org/abs/2610.23826

Thought of the day. From Richard Feynman @proffeynman.bsky.social in “Surely you’re joking, Mr Feynman!”
This is something I've been thinking about for a couple of years now. Let's do better science and it doesn't (necessarily) mean publishing tons of papers....
I’m going to halve my publication output. You should consider slow science, too
If we don’t slow down, the research enterprise is going to crash, argues Adrian Barnett.

This is what acknowledgments are for! PS: the paper is also super cool! Paper: www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1...
