Building Your Persistent Second Brain: An AI-Assisted Research Workflow

September 2026 · Ashwin Desai

An AI with no memory is a stranger every session. Here's a practical system - one root brain, two project templates, a literature pipeline, and four reusable skills - for giving an AI research assistant persistent context across an entire project.

How Electrospun Nanofibers Are Reinventing Wound Care: The Science Behind Fiber Gun

September 2026 · Ashwin Desai

Conventional dressings just cover a wound. Electrospun nanofibers mimic the body's own extracellular matrix and actively support healing - but until now, producing them required a lab. Here's how Fiber Gun, a handheld electrospinning device, changes that.

What Is Multi-Ligand Simultaneous Docking (MLSD)? A Guide to How Combination Drug Discovery Actually Works

September 2026 · Ashwin Desai

Most molecular docking predicts how one drug binds one target. MLSD asks a different question - what happens when two compounds bind at once? Here's how the method works, and what it found across four of our studies, from cancer targets to Alzheimer's disease.
