The number of scientific papers that rely on AI has quadrupled, and the scope of problems AI can tackle is expanding by the ...

New estimates suggest it might be 20 times easier to crack cryptography with quantum computers than we thought. But don't ...

A giggling toddler in a pink dress and matching headphones lies down on her back in front of a gigantic whirling machine. A pillowy headrest cushions her head. She seems unfazed as she’s slowly ...

A paralyzed woman can again communicate with the outside world thanks to a wafer-thin disk capturing speech signals in her brain. An AI translates these electrical buzzes into text and, using ...

A majestic bobcat sauntered through the Florida coastal forests. Nearby, diamondback rattlesnakes slithered across muddy terrain, alligator “swamp puppies” patrolled the waters, and venomous spiders ...

Broader Scope. Rather than just a single gene, the new study focused on diseases with multiple genetic contributions in a simulation. Using previous data that associated genetic variants with diseases ...

Using AI to screen for cancer isn’t new. But older methods often made diagnoses using medical images. Evo 2 used DNA sequences alone. With further validation, the tool could one day help scientists ...

Horizontal drilling was developed for oil and gas production to find new fossil fuel deposits. Fervo’s cofounder, Tim Latimer, started his career in the oil and gas industry, but after a 2015 flood in ...

Peter Murray was born in Boston in 1973. He earned a PhD in neuroscience at the University of Maryland, Baltimore studying gene expression in the neocortex. Following his dissertation work he spent ...

With their bright blue bases, yellow gears, and exposed circuit tops, the 3D-printed robots look like a child’s toys. Yet as a roughly two-dozen-member collective, they can flow around obstacles ...

One trial used a glow-in-the-dark green protein as an indicator. Zapping the cells with brief bursts of electricity pumped out ROS molecules. The cell’s biosensors perked up, in turn releasing NRF2, ...
