Peroxygenases as powerful and sustainable biocatalysts in modern biochemistry
Selective oxidation reactions are central to modern biochemistry. They enable the controlled introduction of oxygen into organic molecules, a key step in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. However, many of the enzymatic systems traditionally used for these transformations are complex and difficult to implement in practice.

Relational Singularities: Why Restoration Failure, Not Physics Breakdown, Defines the Boundary of Coherence
In many areas of physics, the word “singularity” implies the breakdown of equations — an undefined point where the mathematics “fails” or where physical laws suddenly stop working. But this interpretation has always felt philosophically unsatisfying. Why should nature permit a point where its own rules dissolve?

Why a Stable Universe Cannot Support Unnecessary Structure
Modern physics often assumes that the complexity we observe in the universe reflects an underlying complexity in its fundamental structure. Fields, particles, forces, and geometries are typically introduced as independent components, each carrying its own degrees of freedom.

mRNA Vaccines in Modern Therapeutics
Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines represent one of the most significant scientific advances in modern therapeutics. Unlike conventional vaccines that use weakened or inactivated pathogens, mRNA vaccines deliver genetic instructions that enable host cells to synthesize a target antigen and stimulate an immune response.
