arXiv:2607. 09762v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Public battery aging datasets are a critical asset for advanced health management, but their practical use is often limited by inconsistent formats, unclear schemas, and metadata scattered across repositories and publications.

OpenAI4S is an open‑source scientific research agent that treats code as action and science as sessions, combining a persistent computing runtime with structured session management. It uses tool calls for orchestration, executes code cells in persistent Python and R kernels, and records an append‑only Action Ledger, per‑cell execution logs, versioned artifacts, environment snapshots, and workspace checkpoints to preserve provenance and enable session recovery, branching, and extension. Evaluated on 36 research scenarios—including retrosynthesis, molecular dynamics, and protein design—OpenAI4S achieved a higher overall score (7.83) than a general‑purpose coding harness, especially on long‑horizon, computation‑intensive workflows, though reproducibility remains an open challenge.
whyItMatters":"The system demonstrates that persistent execution coupled with session‑level provenance can enhance the reliability of AI‑assisted scientific workflows, as evidenced by its superior performance across diverse research scenarios."

arXiv:2607. 16038v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific work increasingly spans heterogeneous artifacts -- papers, code, datasets, scientific file formats, model outputs, figures, manuscripts, and team decisions -- yet general-purpose AI assistants rarely preserve these objects as a coherent, auditable research state.

The paper extends Co‑Scientist, a Gemini‑based multi‑agent system, and validates it in real‑world scientific settings. In materials science it designed a safe precursor route for MXenes and achieved single‑attempt growth of monolayer MoS₂, MoSe₂, and WS₂. In biology it predicted swarming phenotypes of engineered E. coli, and in computer science it discovered a superior inference‑time scaling architecture for HealthBench. A double‑blind study with 30 experts showed that Co‑Scientist’s reliability modules reduce hallucination and plagiarism while improving research safety.

AutoREC is an open‑source Python platform that uses reinforcement learning to automatically generate equivalent circuit models (ECMs) from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) data. The platform frames ECM generation as a Markov decision process, training a Double Deep Q‑Network agent that iteratively modifies circuit topologies based on state, actions, and model feedback. It supports end‑to‑end workflows—including EIS preprocessing, agent training, ECM generation, and visualization—and has been demonstrated on synthetic datasets and real experimental spectra from batteries, corrosion, oxygen evolution, and CO₂ reduction systems.

arXiv:2607. 23886v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is central to understanding the local electronic and atomic structure of materials, yet most published spectra remain inaccessible to data-driven analysis because they are embedded in figures and described through fragmented textual context in the literature.
