Cosmic chemistry: Life's molecules are made in space
We used to think that the sort of chemistry that makes life could only happen on Earth. We were wrong Life 16 October 2013 By Leonie Mueck Close encounters (Image: Andrea Manzati) EARTHRISE: it was the photo that defined a generation’s relationship with our planet. Taken by the Apollo 8 crew in lunar orbit on Christmas Eve 1968, the vision of a blue, cloud-speckled planet shimmering into view in a hostile darkness brought home to us how lonely our planet is.
Supremacy is for racists - use ‘quantum advantage’
CORRESPONDENCE 10 December 2019 We take issue with the use of ‘supremacy’ when referring to quantum computers that can out-calculate even the fastest supercomputers (F. Arute et al. Nature 574, 505–510; 2019). We consider it irresponsible to override the historical context of this descriptor, which risks sustaining divisions in race, gender and class. We call for the community to use ‘quantum advantage’ instead. The community claims that quantum supremacy is a technical term with a specified meaning.

Call for Papers: Open Biomaterials Research
Together with our Guest Editors, we are providing an innovative home for interdisciplinary work in biomaterials with the goal to enhance collaboration between the biomedical and materials science research communities. We invite submissions on research about the design and fabrication of biomaterials as well as applications of biomaterials in biomedicine that promote the principles of Open Science. All submissions will be handled by our Editorial Board with input from the Guest Editors.
Call for Papers: Open Biomaterials Research
**DEADLINE EXTENDED 30 NOVEMBER** We are excited to share a call for papers for research across all areas of biomaterials. Together with our Guest Editors, we are providing an innovative home for interdisciplinary work in biomaterials with the goal to enhance collaboration between the biomedical and materials science research communities.

Making a home for the Physical Sciences and Engineering in PLOS ONE
Calling all physicists, chemists, earth scientists, computer scientists and engineers: help PLOS ONE make science more open, more reproducible and more transparent. PLOS ONE is known for its multi- and interdisciplinary approach. The journal is open for papers in all areas of science. From particle physics to pulmonology, we particularly welcome papers that break down barriers between disciplines.

Augmented Intelligence in Healthcare: Interview with Arthur Papier
The potential of using machine learning techniques in medicine is immense. As electronic health records have become widely available, there is hope that machine learning will improve diagnosis and care. However, integrating these new methodologies into medical practice is challenging. New methods need to meet healthcare standards, for example around doctor accountability and patient privacy, and must be smoothly integrated into clinical decision-making practices.

Call for Papers: Machine Learning in Health and Biomedicine
PLOS Medicine, PLOS Computational Biology and PLOS ONE announce a cross-journal Call for Papers for high-quality research that applies or develops machine learning methods for improvement of human health. The team of Guest Editors for this Collection seeks research with direct clinical and health policy implications, studies that elucidate biological processes underlying health and disease, innovations in machine learning methodology and data provision, and other advances in the field.
Call for Papers: Open quantum computation and simulation
Editor’s note: We have extended the deadline to 29 June. PLOS ONE is calling for papers that promote the principles and values of open science to form a Collection in quantum computation and simulation. Contributions must be submitted by 08 June 2018. We are proud to have Fabio Sciarrino (Università di Roma La Sapienza) as the Collection’s Guest Editor.

Quantum software
Decades have passed since the great minds of physics, including Richard Feynman and David Deutsch, predicted that the laws of quantum mechanics could give rise to a computing paradigm that — for certain tasks — is superior to classical computing. But controlling fragile quantum systems well enough to construct even the most primitive quantum computing hardware has proved taxing. Experimental advances in the past few years have hushed the sceptics of quantum computing.
