Mit scientists have developed a revolutionary machine learning model called FastSolv. It predicts with unprecedented precision the solubility of molecules, which dramatically accelerates the design and synthesis of new drugs and encourages the use of more environmentally friendly solvents in the industry.
Scientists at the SLAC laboratory have for the first time directly measured the temperature of atoms, discovering that gold can remain solid at 19,000 K. This achievement challenges the theory of the 'entropy catastrophe' and opens new doors for exploring planetary cores and developing fusion energy, fundamentally changing our understanding of matter
Scientists are developing a revolutionary alternative to LASIK surgery that could forever change vision correction. The new technique, called electromechanical reshaping (EMR), uses a mild electric potential to reshape the cornea without a single cut, offering a safer and potentially reversible method for correcting myopia
Mit researchers developed COMET, a ChatGPT-inspired model of artificial intelligence, to design ultra-efficient nanoparticles. This breakthrough dramatically accelerates the development of a new generation of RNA vaccines and personalized therapies to treat obesity, diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
By analyzing 25 years of satellite data and sea samples, scientists have discovered significant changes in the composition of phytoplankton around Antarctica, affecting the food chain and the ability of the ocean to store carbon, warning of the far-reaching consequences of climate change
