Seung and Murthy have been developing the FlyWire map for more than four years, using electron microscopy images of slices of the fly’s brain. The researchers and their hundreds of global colleagues stitched the data together to form a full map of the brain with the help of artificial-intelligence (AI) tools. This is an immense achievement and already is revolutionising the field.

In the rapidly evolving world of biotechnology, the ability to engineer proteins with enhanced stability is a critical challenge. Computational methods that can accurately predict how amino acid mutations will impact a protein’s thermodynamic stability could revolutionize the protein engineering process. Enter Stability Oracle, a new deep learning framework that outperforms state-of-the-art methods in predicting thermodynamically stabilizing protein mutations

The early Martian atmosphere was once flush with carbon dioxide, but over time this thick atmosphere thinned dramatically. Where did all that carbon go? The answer may lie in the very rocks and minerals that coat the Martian surface

As the global aviation industry strives to reduce its environmental impact, the race is on to develop sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) that can replace traditional petroleum-based jet fuel. One promising solution lies in an unlikely source – the abundant biopolymer lignin

In a significant development for the field of neuropsychiatry, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for COBENFY™ (xanomeline and trospium chloride), marking the introduction of the first new pharmacological approach to treating schizophrenia in decades
