Published New bioengineered protein design shows promise in fighting COVID-19
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A recent scientific breakthrough has emerged from the work of researchers aiming to combat SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. The study focuses on the design and development of a novel protein capable of binding to the spike proteins found on the surface of the coronavirus. The goal behind this innovative approach is twofold: first, to identify and recognize the virus for diagnostic purposes, and second, to hinder its ability to infect human cells.
Published New simpler and cost-effective forensics test helps identify touch DNA
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Research has found a less expensive and easier to use test to learn more about forensic touch DNA. This research has important implications for forensic investigations and being able to identify DNA from a primary contact -- someone who may have committed the crime -- as well as secondary DNA that was inadvertently and indirectly transferred through touch.
Published New AI technology enables 3D capture and editing of real-life objects
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Imagine performing a sweep around an object with your smartphone and getting a realistic, fully editable 3D model that you can view from any angle -- this is fast becoming reality, thanks to advances in AI. Researchers have unveiled new AI technology for doing exactly this. Soon, rather than merely taking 2D photos, everyday consumers will be able to take 3D captures of real-life objects and edit their shapes and appearance as they wish, just as easily as they would with regular 2D photos today.
Published Artificial intelligence detects heart defects in newborns
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed an algorithm that provides an automatic and reliable method of detecting a certain heart defect in newborns.
Published New computational strategy boosts the ability of drug designers to target proteins inside the membrane
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Hitting targets embedded within the cell membrane has long been difficult for drug developers due to the membrane's challenging biochemical properties. Now, chemists have demonstrated new custom-designed proteins that can efficiently reach these 'intramembrane' targets.
Published Straightening teeth? AI can help
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new tool will help orthodontists correctly fit braces onto teeth. Using artificial intelligence and virtual patients, the tool predicts how teeth will move, so as to ensure that braces are neither too loose nor too tight.
Published Staying in the loop: How superconductors are helping computers 'remember'
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source To advance neuromorphic computing, some researchers are looking at analog improvements -- advancing not just software, but hardware too. Research shows a promising new way to store and transmit information using disordered superconducting loops.
Published A simple and robust experimental process for protein engineering
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A protein engineering method using simple, cost-effective experiments and machine learning models can predict which proteins will be effective for a given purpose, according to a new study.
Published Scientists develop a rapid gene-editing screen to find effects of cancer mutations
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers found a way to screen cancer-linked gene mutations much more easily and quickly than existing approaches, using a variant of CRISPR genome-editing known as prime editing.
Published How do neural networks learn? A mathematical formula explains how they detect relevant patterns
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Neural networks have been powering breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, including the large language models that are now being used in a wide range of applications, from finance, to human resources to healthcare. But these networks remain a black box whose inner workings engineers and scientists struggle to understand. Now, a team has given neural networks the equivalent of an X-ray to uncover how they actually learn.
Published Mathematicians use AI to identify emerging COVID-19 variants
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Scientists have developed an AI framework that can identify and track new and concerning COVID-19 variants and could help with other infections in the future.
