Earlier this month, artificial intelligence researcher Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic after just four months. In an announcement on X, he stated: "The people building AI earnestly believe that it ...

The system, designed by Stanford researchers, identified which drugs are more likely to succeed in trials and even proposed a cancer treatment a major drugmaker later landed on too. Developing a new ...

"The AI platform Hugging Face on Thursday released a new open model for understanding DNA that can run locally on a laptop. Developed in collaboration with researchers at Zhongguancun Academy in China ...

The protein universe is about to get bigger. Scientists can now use AI to build proteins never before seen in nature. These designer proteins may become therapeutics, environmental sensors, or even ...

The treatment delivers a light-sensitive algae protein to the retina. Paired with special goggles, it can restore limited vision and lasts for years. The patients sit perfectly still as a needle ...

In May, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins wrote an op-ed suggesting AI chatbot Claude may be conscious. Dawkins did not express certainty that Claude is conscious. But he pointed out that ...

Our immune system is a fierce brigade. Roaming immune cells scan for bacteria, viruses, and other invaders. They also communicate with tissues to catch early signs of cancer. After detecting a threat, ...

The project explores how life adapts to extreme environments—and hopes to inspire new drugs or even treatments to aid space travel. We’ve only scratched the surface of what thrives in the deepest ...

The scent of fresh bread straight from the oven is intoxicating. As sugars and proteins react under heat, they create compounds that give golden-brown crusts their rich aroma. Called advanced ...

Champions aren't forever. Last week, DeepSeek AI sent shivers down the spines of investors and tech companies alike with its high-flying performance on the cheap. Now, two computer chip startups are ...

Scientists are exploring new algorithms, hardware, and computing methods to lower AI’s power demands. Strategic siting of data centers and other steps to increase green energy use are also key. As I ...

Synthetic biologists have long dreamed of constructing artificial cells from the bottom up. Researchers have now taken a major step in this direction by demonstrating that non-living components can be ...
