The worst charts I've ever seen at work

Can generative AI be trusted to draw chemical structures? Not yet, according to two chemists who want to see the community take a tough stance against its use.

A new nitrogen allotrope is news, and a neutral one that can be studied spectroscopically is even more so. Does it blow up? Well, sure. But that’s not its whole personality;
