Researchers try to cut the genetic code from 20 to 19 amino acids
Using AI tools, the team reworked part of the ribosome to need one less amino acid. The genetic code is […]
New robotic control software avoids jamming their joints
Software lets robots learn from each other even if they have different hardware. Switching from one smartphone to another is […]
Figuring out why AIs get flummoxed by some games
When winning depends on intuiting a mathematical function, AIs come up short. Oddly, the training methods that work great for […]
Quantum computing meets the Möbius molecule
A complex structure with multiple electrons is within reach of today’s hardware. Credit: IBM Research and the University of Manchester […]
Microsoft’s new 10,000-year data storage medium: glass
Femtosecond lasers etch data into a very stable medium. Right now, Silica hardware isn’t quite ready for commercialization. Credit: Microsoft […]
Researchers make “neuromorphic” artificial skin for robots
The nervous system does an astonishing job of tracking sensory information, and does so using signals that would drive many […]
Researchers find what makes AI chatbots politically persuasive
A massive study of political persuasion shows AIs have, at best, a weak effect. Roughly two years ago, Sam Altman […]
AI trained on bacterial genomes produces never-before-seen proteins
The researchers argue that this setup lets Evo “link nucleotide-level patterns to kilobase-scale genomic context.” In other words, if you […]
New quantum hardware puts the mechanics in quantum mechanics
As a test case, the machine was used to test a model of superconductivity. Quantum computers based on ions or […]
