Cornell researchers are demonstrating how artificial intelligence—particularly deep learning and generative modeling—can accelerate the design of new molecules and materials, and even function as an ...

The National Science Foundation and NVIDIA are investing $152 million in an open-source AI initiative led by Ai2, delivering reproducible AI models to accelerate scientific discovery and reshape ...

Every year, more than 100 million animals are used globally in biomedical research, yet over 90% of drugs that appear effective in animal trials fail during human clinical testing. 1 This staggering ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Quantum decision-making models draw on mathematical principles of quantum theory to describe and predict choices that defy classical probability. By representing cognitive states as vectors in a ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The Chinese AI company DeepSeek released a chatbot earlier this year called R1, which drew a huge amount of attention. Most of it ...

AI language models, used to generate human-like text to power chatbots and create content, are also revolutionizing biology by treating complex biological data like a language. Language models are ...

THE DIPLOMATIC ructions at COP29, the United Nations climate conference currently under way in the Azerbaijani capital of Baku, are based largely on computer models. Some model what climate change ...

Six months ago DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial-intelligence (AI) firm, wowed the world with the v3 model and its successors. For the first time, a country other than America—and one that America had ...

AI labs like OpenAI claim that their so-called “reasoning” AI models, which can “think” through problems step by step, are more capable than their non-reasoning counterparts in specific domains, such ...

The use of AI models in scientific laboratories risks enabling dangerous experiments that could cause fires or explosions, researchers have warned. Such models offer a convincing illusion of ...
