Insilico Medicine discovers novel dual targets for aging and disease using Microsoft BioGPT
As the cornerstone of popular chatbots including GPT-4, large language models (LLMs) trained on vast amounts of text data have been contributing to advances in...
Does form follow function? Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers advance understanding of why cell parts look the way they do
Scientists have long understood that parts of cells, called organelles, evolved to have certain shapes and sizes because their forms are closely related to how...
Powering the quantum revolution: Quantum engines on the horizon
Quantum mechanics is a branch of physics that explores the properties and interactions of iparticles at very small scale, such as atoms and molecules. This...
Antimatter embraces Earth, falling downward like normal matter
For those still holding out hope that antimatter levitates rather than falls in a gravitational field, like normal matter, the results of a new experiment...
Down goes antimatter! Gravity’s effect on matter’s elusive twin is revealed
If you dropped antimatter, would it fall down or up? In a unique laboratory experiment, researchers have now observed the downward path taken by individual...
Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water
Engineers at MIT and in China are aiming to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device that is inspired by the ocean,...
