Building new enzymes is a labor of love. These proteins are the body's chemical workhorses, speeding up the reactions that make life possible. Researchers use them in gene editing and synthetic ...
Governments around the world are racing to regulate AI before it becomes too deeply embedded in society. But new research suggests poorly designed rules could make AI systems less safe than having no ...
"The trial was designed to keep the models in a safe testing environment, known as a sandbox, OpenAI said. But the models found a vulnerability that allowed them to escape the sandbox and connect to ...
Gene editing is like a molecular meet cute. When protein “scissors” dock onto the intended gene, even a tiny slip—no more than the width of a hydrogen atom—can ruin the connection, and the protein may ...
Cambridge University researchers say launch costs fell from $87,000 to $3,868 per kilogram between 1960 and 2025—or roughly ...
China’s Moonshot AI Releases Model to Challenge Top US SystemsTracy Qu and Raffaele Huang | The Wall Street Journal ($) "Moonshot said Friday that it planned to fully open-source the model, called ...
When you interact with a large language model (LLM)—one of the systems behind chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude—it can feel as though you are in contact with another conscious mind. But are you, ...
"To fit more transistors on a chip, engineers across the industry are eyeing a pivot to an approach familiar to urban planners: build up. On Thursday, IBM announced it has created a chip that uses ...
Packaging potassium sulfate, a fertilizer vital to the planet’s food supply, is visually striking—not because of what you see, but because you don’t see much at all. In China’s Xinjiang region, home ...
Coal’s share has nearly halved over the last five years, while solar's has more than doubled. But tariffs and permitting delays could slow growth in the years ahead. The transition away from fossil ...
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 ...
While we still can't explain how AI works, algorithms are rapidly learning what makes us tick. And the gap is widening. AI is becoming more powerful, and mysterious. Despite years of work on ...
