AI agents that can model the human process of research will accelerate discoveries in science. Every few decades, someone ...

So, figuring out how to make a new protein can mean directly tinkering with biochemistry, providing new and potentially ...

Artificial intelligence models are jacks of many trades, including writing, generating images, and creating 3D models. But they aren't as helpful when it comes to testing robots or designs for ...

Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly being implemented in a wide range of disciplines, with the promise of unlocking new possibilities for scientific exploration. However, while the development of ...

People have always looked for patterns to explain the universe and to predict the future. “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning” is an adage predicting the weather.

Four teams have coaxed human stem cells to organize themselves into embryo-like forms. The advance could shed light on fertility. By Carl Zimmer In its first week, a fertilized human egg develops into ...

Data science is everywhere, a driving force behind modern decisions. When a streaming service suggests a movie, a bank sends a warning about unusual activity on an account, or a weather app predicts ...

Cornell researchers are demonstrating how artificial intelligence—particularly deep learning and generative modeling—can accelerate the design of new molecules and materials, and even function as an ...

Editor’s note (May 19th 2025): On May 16th, MIT said that Aidan Toner-Rodgers was no longer in the MIT PhD program. The university “has no confidence in the provenance, reliability or validity of the ...

A hunk of material bustles with electrons, one tickling another as they bop around. Quantifying how one particle jostles others in that scrum is so complicated that, beginning in the 1990s, physicists ...

Anthropic introduced Claude Science on Tuesday, an AI workbench that gives scientists one environment to do computational research, sparing them the hassle of bouncing between databases, pipelines, ...
