Stanford Medicine researchers have discovered a naturally occurring molecule, BRP, that suppresses appetite and reduces body weight like Ozempic but without nausea, constipation, or significant muscle…
Artificial intelligence has helped scientists discover a new class of antibiotics effective against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a drug-resistant bacterium causing serious infec…
Researchers at Peking University and East China Normal University used AlphaFold3 to redesign CRISPR base editors, reducing off-target activity from 28% to 5% in one comparison while preserving on-tar…
A developer spent three years building AI tools for Hausa, a language spoken by 94 million people but understood only 10-20% by ChatGPT and LLMs. The effort, rooted in the community AI Bauchi founded …
A new AI framework called ContactSeek uses Google DeepMind's AlphaFold3 to redesign gene-editing proteins, achieving dramatically higher accuracy than existing high-fidelity alternatives. Published in…
Researchers used AlphaFold AI to redesign gene-editing proteins, reducing off-target effects that cause safety concerns in therapies. The team modified key areas of Cas proteins identified by the AI t…
Democracy faces a more fundamental threat from AI than deepfakes or bots, argues a new analysis: agentic AI systems that can perform complex tasks without human supervision may eliminate the leverage …
Artificial intelligence has already saturated academia, with 88% of UK students using generative AI for assessments in 2025, up from 53% the prior year, according to the Higher Education Policy Instit…
Google Quantum AI researchers Volodymyr Sivak and Paul Klimov demonstrated that a quantum computer can continuously adapt to drift and remain stable during long computations by integrating reinforceme…
A letter published in Nature warns that AI-generated images are contaminating citizen science platforms like iNaturalist, undermining their utility for biological recording. Scientists from Cornell an…
OpenAI research published in September 2025 and appearing in Nature shows that training language models for accuracy incentivizes hallucinations because benchmarks reward confident answers and penaliz…
A bird photograph posted online from Brazil sparked scientific debate about species migration until investigators discovered an AI tool had altered the image, creating a false record of a North Americ…
AI chatbots that make learning feel too easy may actually impair long-term retention, according to a randomized trial with about a thousand high-school students published in PNAS. Students who used a …
Researchers from the University of California San Diego reported in Nature that two humanoid robots, modified from commercially available Unitree G1 machines, completed live gallbladder removal surger…
AI detection tools used by universities to identify AI-generated writing are unreliable and can wrongly accuse students of misconduct, according to an analysis published in Nature. Studies cited in th…
A study of 40 million papers found that scientists using AI publish more and advance faster, but AI-heavy research clusters around the same problems, reducing scientific diversity. The findings, publi…
Two humanoid robots performed the first-ever gallbladder surgeries on pigs at the University of California San Diego, a milestone researchers say paves the way for human trials. The compact robots, ni…
A Google-led research team has demonstrated a quantum computer that continuously learns from its own errors during operation, using a reinforcement learning system to adapt to changing conditions. Imp…
Google Quantum AI published a reinforcement learning system in Nature on July 8 that calibrates its Willow quantum processor in real time, achieving a 3.5x improvement in error stability and a record …
In a world first, surgeons at UC San Diego successfully performed gallbladder removals in large mammals using remotely controlled humanoid robots called Surgie. The proof-of-concept trial, published i…
