Advances in organ and computer models are raising the prospect that some animal experiments could be eliminated. But there ...

The unofficial soundtrack of every basketball, squash or hard-court tennis match is the constant high-pitched squeak or shriek of the players' shoes. But can this squeak be designed out of them while ...

Scientists developed Evo 2, a large biological foundation model trained on about 9 trillion DNA base pairs that can analyse ...

Over thousands of years of domestication, humans have moulded fruit to their liking. Today’s peaches are 16 times the size of their ancient ancestors. The 1,200 varieties of watermelon bear little ...

Late in 2025, we covered the development of an AI system called Evo that was trained on massive numbers of bacterial genomes. So many that, when prompted with sequences from a cluster of related genes ...

The DNA foundation model Evo 2 has been published in the journal Nature. Trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across ...

Broad top-down mandates to use AI fail because they're too vague to act on, while unmanaged employee experimentation can ...

Abstract: Normal mixture models are widely used to represent data arising from latent subpopulations. We propose a Design-of-Experiments (DOE) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) framework to ...

Abstract: We propose a motion planner for quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) implemented as a graph search over robust positive invariant (PI) sets. We model ...

Startups flush with cash are building AI-assisted laboratories to find materials far faster and more cheaply, but are still waiting for their ChatGPT moment. The microwave-size instrument at Lila ...

Winter means a lot of indoor time, and I've learned that science experiments are a lifesaver on those long, cold days. The best part? You don't need anything fancy. Baking soda, vinegar, food ...

Can you imagine running an online store without being able to contact your customers or process their payments? Most of the time, collecting this crucial data is relatively seamless through a simple ...
