  • How a Jawless Vertebrate Parasite Reveals Evolutionary Origins of the Thyroid

    How a Jawless Vertebrate Parasite Reveals Evolutionary Origins of the Thyroid

    The thyroid, a vital endocrine organ in vertebrates, plays a key role in regulating metabolism and supporting growth. The first gland of both the nervous system and endocrine system to mature during an embryo’s development, it initially evolved more than 500 million years ago out of a “primitive” precursor organ in chordates known as the […]

  • Putting Proteins Under a Computational Microscope

    Putting Proteins Under a Computational Microscope

    Summary: AI Prize Grand Prize winner Zhuoran Qiao uses generative AI to model dynamic protein structures and their interactions with small molecules—dramatically accelerating drug discovery. Inspired by diffusion models, his approach predicts not only protein folding but also binding behaviors, enabling the design of new treatments, including for “undruggable” diseases. His work replaces years of […]

  • A Closer Look at Coastal Waters

    A Closer Look at Coastal Waters

    Summary: AI Prize finalist Alizée Roobaert, a researcher at the Flanders Marine Institute, uses machine learning to map how coastal waters absorb carbon dioxide (CO₂). While oceans are known to absorb about one-quarter of human CO₂ emissions, coastal regions remain poorly understood. Roobaert combined satellite and in situ data with AI to generate highly detailed […]

    All Together Now

    Summary: AI Prize finalist Aditya Nair uses machine learning to uncover hidden patterns in brain activity related to emotions like anger and fear. While individual neurons show little correlation to emotional states, Nair’s model analyzes collective neural activity—like listening to an orchestra—to detect persistent emotional signals. His work revealed a “line attractor” pattern in the […]

    Genetic Code Enables Zebrafish to Mend Damaged Organs

    Zebrafish have the remarkable and rare ability to regrow and repair their hearts after damage. New research from Caltech and UC Berkeley has identified the circuit of genes controlling this ability and offers clues about how a human heart might someday be repaired after damage, such as a heart attack or in cases of congenital […]

    Speed-Snap Science: Solving for Molecular Details in a Flash

    How do we know exactly what is happening at a molecular level during extremely fast processes, such as burning during combustion? In less than the blink of an eye, one chemical compound and then another are present in a flame only to disperse and give way to more. Understanding which molecules are present gives scientists […]
