• Teaching AI to Predict What Cells Will Look Like Before Running Any Experiments
  This is a sponsored article brought to you by MBZUAI.If you’ve ever tried to guess how a cell will change shape after a drug or a gene edit, you know it’s part science, part art, and mostly expensive trial-and-error. Imaging thousands of conditions is slow; exploring millions is impossible.A new paper in Nature Communications proposes […]
• In a First, Artificial Neurons Talk Directly to Living Cells
  The bacteria Geobacter sulfurreducens came from humble beginnings; it was first isolated from dirt in a ditch in Norman, Okla. But now, the surprisingly remarkable microbes are the key to the first ever artificial neurons that can directly interact with living cells.The G. sulfurreducens microbes communicate with one another through tiny, protein-based wires that researchers […]
• Quantum Sensors Sidestep the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
  A cornerstone of quantum physics is uncertainty. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle states that the more precisely you pinpoint the position of a particle, the less precisely you can know its momentum at the same time, and vice versa.However, a new study reveals that scientists have now discovered a way to sidestep this quantum trade-off. This could […]
• How Wi-Fi Signals Can Be Used to Detect Your Heartbeat
  This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore.Wi-Fi signals today primarily transmit data. But these signals can also be used for other innovative purposes. For instance, one California-based team has proposed using ambient Wi-Fi signals to monitor a person’s heart rate. The new approach, called Pulse-Fi, offers […]
• The Quest to Sequence the Genomes of Everything
  A gibbous moon hangs over a lonely mountain trail in the Italian Alps, above the village of Malles Venosta, whose lights dot the valley below. Benjamin Wiesmair stands next to a moth trap as tall as he is, his face, bushy beard, and hair bun lit by its purple glow. He’s wearing a headlamp, a […]
