Google DeepMind puts an invisible watermark inside lab-grown proteins
SynthID Bio hides a detectable signal inside AI-designed proteins and 3D structures without breaking what the molecule is supposed to do.
Google says its AI now touches 300 languages and 7 billion people. Here's what that actually means.
From spotting missed breast cancers to warning Jamaicans about a hurricane, Google is rolling out AI tools that reach far beyond the chatbot.
Google DeepMind Maps Every Possible DNA Change in the Human Genome
A new tool called AlphaGenome Atlas holds predictions for nine billion genetic variants. Researchers can use it free today, and here is what that actually means.
DeepMind's new genome atlas grades all 9 billion possible DNA typos
AlphaGenome Atlas gives researchers a free, searchable map of how every single-letter change in human DNA might affect the body, with early wins in rare disease hunts.
University AI researchers are being squeezed out of their own field
The cutting edge of AI has moved from campuses to private labs. Academics at a recent Schmidt Sciences gathering described a field that's harder to fund, harder to study, and harder to justify than before.
Science's next AI leap will come from reasoning agents, not data-hungry models like AlphaFold
AlphaFold was a landmark, but the conditions that made it possible took 53 years and $21 billion to build. For most of science, a different kind of AI, one that reasons and experiments step by step, is already showing what comes next.
Scientists used an AI protein tool to make gene editing safer
Researchers adapted AlphaFold, the AI software famous for predicting protein shapes, to pinpoint and fix the parts of gene-editing proteins most likely to cut the wrong stretch of DNA.
Google is putting $40 million of AI credits into America's national science labs
The Genesis Mission gets access to AlphaFold 3, AlphaEvolve and Gemini for Government, and one lab has already cut a 90-minute task down to 13 minutes.
Vertu's $6,880 AI Phone Promised to Replace an Executive Assistant. We Tested It.
The Alphafold is wrapped in calfskin leather and titanium, and its AI agent can handle real workflows. But does it do them well enough to justify the price?
Google DeepMind and Isomorphic Labs open their bioresilience playbook
The two AI labs say they will share models with vetted partners to speed vaccine design and catch outbreaks earlier, while adding safeguards against misuse.
