Hello, I recently published a peer-reviewed research article in the UK's Royal Society of Chemistry flagship journal, Chemical science, with a 2018 Impact Factor of 9.556, Titled: "Computational chemistry experiments performed directly on a blockchain virtual computer". I thought that this might be of interest to some of you here. The article details the first instance of a computational physics simulation being performed entirely within a blockchain virtual machine. In this case the experiment was a proof-of-principle study using a simple harmonic potential to model the trajectory of a vibrating carbon monoxide molecule. I have also discussed the potential potential benefits of this type of calculation in terms of censorship resistance, reprodcucibility and provenance in theoretical scientific work.
If this would be more appropriate in another subforum, feel free to moderate the thread.
Magnus.
