Life exists at temperatures ranging from -20 to 122 °C. However, the majority of high-resolution structural data in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) were obtained at cryogenic temperatures, where biological function is halted due to the lack of thermal fluctuations. To overcome this fundamental problem and directly link st…

This paper introduces the concept of Molecular Latent Variables (MLVs), proposing that the true state of a molecule cannot be fully described solely by its coordinates, orbital information, and electric charge. We argue for the existence of unobservable, yet inferable, chemical variables that fundamentally influence m…

This paper proposes a radical revision of the traditional concept of the periodic table, arguing that it is not a static structure but a dynamic system subject to continuous modification under various external influences. The core hypothesis is that the periodic law, as conventionally understood, is not inherent to th…
