A small brain sample was sliced into 5,000 pieces, and machine learning helped stitch it back together.

AlphaFold 3 can predict how DNA, RNA, and other molecules interact, further cementing its leading role in drug discovery and research. Who will benefit?

Sometimes when you’re considering how to bring the power of AI to a clinical context, it sort of takes a new way of thinking to get inspired about what’s possible.

I was thinking about this the other day, inspired by some people who have been working hard on genomics, oncology research, and other types of biological and anatomical applications. There’s so much of it, suddenly, especially at these institutions that I’m so close to – to call it a “revolution” in my view, isn’t hyperbolic.

In the brand-new world of AI, we’re slowly learning that there’s a big difference between a small routine transaction like buying a hamburger, and something much more complex and high-stakes.

The robotics company will use Microsoft’s Azure infrastructure for training, inference, networking and storage.

But what we perceive as deception is AI mindlessly achieving the goals we’ve set for it.

This led to the creation of a “bionic eye” that uses a combination of AI and several advanced scanning techniques, including optical imaging, thermal imaging, and tomography (the technique used for CT scans), to capture differences between parts of the scrolls that were blank and those that contained ink — all without having to physically unroll them.

Where’s Plato? On April 23, team leader Graziano Ranocchia announced that the group had managed to extract about 1,000 words from a scroll titled “The History of the Academy” and that the words revealed Plato’s burial place: a private part of the garden near a shrine to the Muses.

The recovered text, which accounted for about 30% of the scroll, also revealed that Plato may have been sold into slavery between 404 and 399 BC — historians previously thought this had happened later in the philosopher’s life, around 387 BC.
