My Scientific writing guidelines for the LLM era

Since the popularization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in 2023 with the launch of ChatGPT, the scientific community has embraced a rapid integration of Large Language Models (LLMs). These tools now assist with a variety of daily administrative tasks, enhance the language of your emails and documents, help with coding, and more. Every day we use this technology, we must remember that with great power comes great responsibility. Because, how we use and deploy LLM technology will define the integrity of our scientific research in the years to come. Therefore, today I want to share a set of guiding principles…

Lifycs 2024 – Local Photovoltaic Characterization Infrastructure for STEM education

Dr. Jesús Capistrán Martínez’s presentation focused on developing local infrastructure for the characterization of solar cells at the Laboratory of Photovoltaic Innovation and Solar Cell Characterization (LIFYCS). The talk highlighted the use of open-source hardware and software technologies to optimize semiconductor research and promote accessible practices in STEM education. This initiative aligns with the photovoltaic module prototyping workshop under the APOYO LNC-2023-33 project. A key part of the presentation was the use of the µSMU (micro Source Measurement Unit) for the electrical characterization of devices such as diodes, LEDs, and solar cells. This open-source hardware, developed by Joel Troughton, was…
