Curious to see when a post from OpenAI will appear with the corrected theory or something. This seems to be an ideal scenario for them to go after another scientific case. They have the theory, they have the experimental proof that it’s wrong, exactly what you need for an agentic loop to do its work.

Or maybe what works in math doesn’t work with chemistry?

Complete title is: "Introducing boron buckyballs: Theory predicts B80 cages can’t be made. Experimentalists just proved otherwise"

What a bunch of borons!

It is a lot less uniform than carbon c60. I wonder what weird properties that will give it.

This is surely extremely exciting for theorists then!

I wonder what you can do with B80?
