ARC Innovation at Sheba Medical Center and Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (part of the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City) today announced a landmark three-year collaboration with NVIDIA to harness the power of artificial intelligence for genomic discovery through the application of large language model (LLM) technology. The initiative aims to pioneer the decoding of the majority of the human genome that remains poorly understood in order to unlock new pathways for disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Over the three-year period, the project will be supported by significant investment from the participating organizations, with the goal of accelerating research that can ultimately benefit patients worldwide.
The University of Liverpool has unveiled an ambitious plan for a new £100 million AI Materials Hub for Innovation (AIM-HI) dedicated to accelerating the application of artificial intelligence in materials chemistry.
MIT researchers designed a device that quickly recovers drinking water from an atmospheric water harvesting material. The system uses ultrasonic waves to shake the water out of the material, recovering water in minutes.
Extracellular vesicles carry diverse molecules that cells use for communication. New tool enables scientists to ‘draw’ precise micropatterns with these vesicles, mimicking those deposited by cells in our bodies. Cells sometimes follow and internalize these vesicle patterns like a roadmap. Technology could help scientists better understand and exploit how vesicles signal cells to repair, heal or proliferate disease.
The earliest evidence of an internal ‘GPS’ system in an animal has been identified by researchers, which could help explain how modern birds and fish evolved the ability to use the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate long distances.
