๐งฎ AI helps mathematicians solve problems that have been unsolved for decades
Since October, AI tools have helped move about 100 of Paul Erdลs' mathematical problems into the "solved" category. Large language models function as powerful research assistants that can find and combine existing mathematical results in new ways.
๐คจ Researchers question high-profile studies on microplastics in the human body
Seven studies reporting microplastics in the brain, testes, and other organs have been challenged by other researchers in scientific journals. Analytical techniques for measuring microplastics in tissue can produce false positive results because body fat can be confused with common plastics.
๐ฆพ AI scientist performs six months of work in one day
Kosmos can read 1,500 scientific papers and run 42,000 lines of analysis code in a single run. The AI system has already made seven discoveries in neuroscience, materials science, and statistical genetics.
๐ฆพ AI helps 1200 researchers develop new materials in global hackathon
More than 100 teams developed AI tools that can predict crystal structures, track medicines, and design new chemicals in just two days.
๐ฆ Scientists observe 'Hofstadter's butterfly' for the first time
Scientists have measured the energy levels of electrons in a new quantum material and discovered that they follow a fractal pattern, known as "Hofstadter's butterfly." It has been theoretically predicted since 1976 but has now been directly observed for the first time in a real material.
๐ฌ AI improves protein sequencing for medicine, environment, and archaeology
New AI technology has identified 42 percent more peptides than previous methods in complex protein samples. Researchers are now using AI protein sequencing to identify unknown proteins in both medical samples and archaeological findings.
๐ฌ AI performs chemical research completely independently
A new AI system can independently plan, design and conduct chemical experiments. Coscientist has successfully optimized chemical reactions and proven its ability to work independently in six different experimental tasks.
๐ People worldwide have high trust in scientists
A new comprehensive study shows that the majority of people in 68 countries have high trust in scientists and their methods.
