Robots and click chemistry open a new frontier in antibiotic discovery
7+ hour, 56+ min ago (552+ words) Researchers have used a cutting-edge robotic system capable of synthesizing hundreds of metal complexes to develop a possible antibiotic candidate - offering fresh hope in the global fight against drug-resistant infections. In a study published in Nature Communications, the researchers synthesised…...
Early identification of nutrition risk in ICU patients using artificial intelligence
1+ day, 8+ hour ago (203+ words) A new study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could help predict which critically ill patients on ventilators are at risk of underfeeding, potentially enabling clinicians to adjust nutrition early…...
Flow chemistry, AI, and NMR: A next-gen approach to scalable API production
6+ day, 21+ hour ago (330+ words) Guillaume Bentzinger:I'm a Project Manager at Novalix in the Flow & Process department, with a background in medicinal chemistry. My role in thePIPAc project is to develop and optimize the synthetic routes for producing APIs under continuous flow conditions with…...
AI tool reveals hidden proteins in Earth’s vital microalgae
1+ week, 6+ hour ago (216+ words) Scientists at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool called LA'SR that can rapidly identify previously overlooked proteins in microalgae - tiny organisms that produce much of the Earth's oxygen and support entire aquatic ecosystems. This breakthrough…...
First multimodal medical dataset launched to capture patient-clinician interactions
1+ week, 15+ hour ago (550+ words) Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have launched Observer, the first multimodal medical dataset to capture anonymized, real-time interactions between patients and clinicians. Much like the medical drama The Pitt, which portrays life in the emergency room, Observer lets outsiders…...
Revolutionary quantum sensors could enable earlier cancer diagnosis and treatment
1+ week, 20+ hour ago (274+ words) A revolutionary quantum sensing project that could transform cancer treatment by tracking how immune cells interact with tumors has been awarded a prestigious "2 million'Future Leaders Fellowship. The four-year fellowship, funded by UK Research and Innovation, focuses on a critical problem:…...
Unlocking antibody assembly secrets with AI
1+ week, 1+ day ago (197+ words) During this unique study, scientists sought to understand if artificial intelligence could be used to predict how the interior of antibodies are assembled in the body.

AI uncovers hidden mechanisms of covert attention and emergent neuron types
1+ week, 1+ day ago (592+ words) "This is a clear case of AI advancing neuroscience, cognitive sciences and psychology," said Srivastava, a former graduate student in the lab of Eckstein, now a postdoctoral researcher at UC San Diego. Their findings are published in the Proceedings of…...
Novel AI tool not only identifies genetic mutations but also predicts the type of disease
1+ week, 1+ day ago (430+ words) Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type of disease those mutations may trigger. The method, called V2P (Variant to…...
Early warning for diabetes: AI model identifies prediabetes risk with high accuracy
1+ week, 6+ day ago (361+ words) Traditional diagnostic approaches rely on blood-based tests and clinical evaluation, but these methods can be time-consuming, costly, and sometimes limited in their ability to predict individual risk. As data-driven tools have advanced, AI allows researchers to combine data from multiple…...
