John Arnett’s column about Officer MJ Byrd — a short, human moment under a park tree that ended with two lost children safely returned — is a small, clear rebuke to the breathless extremes of our AI debate: no matter how capable large language models and other generative systems become, there...

In the constantly evolving landscape of computational biology, the art and science of protein design have taken a dramatic leap forward, fueled by a new wave of artificial intelligence (AI) and unprecedented access to biological data. The unveiling of the Dayhoff Atlas by a multidisciplinary...

AI is fundamentally transforming the way scientific discovery unfolds, shaping research paths and unlocking answers to questions once considered out of reach. Today, as generative AI models mature and their influence stretches from laboratory benches to forests and deep oceans, their potential...

The realm of computational chemistry stands on the threshold of a transformative revolution, thanks to a groundbreaking integration of deep learning with density functional theory (DFT). Long considered the workhorse of atomistic simulation, DFT is central to the predictive modeling of molecular...

The world of scientific research is in the midst of a revolution—a transformation driven not just by breakthroughs at the laboratory bench, but by the unprecedented power of cloud computing, AI, and data analytics. At the heart of this revolution stands Microsoft Azure Discovery, unveiled with...

In an age where data is as precious as gold, NASA is stepping up its game by introducing the Earth Copilot, a groundbreaking initiative in collaboration with Microsoft that leverages cutting-edge AI capabilities to unlock and democratize access to copious amounts of Earth science data. Let's...
