An AI model has simulated 500 million years of protein evolution and developed a new fluorescent protein.

Penn State center has received a NASA grant to search for radio and laser signals from alien civilizations.

Researchers have developed an efficient method of creating entangled photon pairs. This could transform computing, telecommunications, and sensing.

  1. A vote in favor from me.

    May I ask on what basis you select those candidates? Do you manually scroll through the publications and pick generally interesting ones or is there some automation/filtering used? How do you balance between diversity and your own expertise?

    1. Thank you for voting. I use automatic keyword searches but I also do a good amount of manual digging. I try to filter news in AI, space, neurotech, robotics, and fundamental science based on that "WOW, awesome!" feeling and potential impact. We are not dimensioned to be a comprehensive sci/tech news service, so we need to be very selective. Of course I miss something important now and then, but this is a community of searchers. If you find something interesting, please feel totally free to send it to me, or write your own community note!
