Generative AI develops potential antibiotic resistant bacteria

Generative AI develops potential new drugs for antibiotic-resistant bacteria With nearly 5 million deaths linked to antibiotic resistance globally every year, new ways to combat resistant bacterial strains are urgently needed. Researchers at Stanford Medicine and McMaster University are tackling this problem with generative artificial intelligence. A new model, dubbed SyntheMol (for synthesizing molecules), created […]

Antimalarial treatments fail in children with acute malnutrition

Education / oliviamoss

Children with acute malnutrition across Africa and Asia have a higher risk of treatment failure and malaria reinfection, even after being given the best currently available and recommended malaria treatment. Researchers from the Infectious Diseases Data Observatory (IDDO) at Oxford University analysed data from over 11,000 young children for this study, published in Lancet Global

Climate Change Threatens Animal Extinction: Study

Education / oliviamoss

New study reveals insight into which animals are most vulnerable to extinction due to climate change In a new study, researchers have used the fossil record to better understand what factors make animals more vulnerable to extinction from climate change. The results could help to identify species most at risk today from human-driven climate change.

Pythagoras was wrong: No universal musical harmonies, study finds

Education / oliviamoss

The tone and tuning of musical instruments has the power to manipulate our appreciation of musical harmonies, new research shows. The findings challenge centuries of Western music theory and encourage greater experimentation with instruments from different cultures. According to the Ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras, ‘consonance’ – a pleasant-sounding combination of notes – is produced by

Aim policies at hardware to ensure AI safety, say experts

Education / oliviamoss

A global registry tracking the flow of chips destined for AI supercomputers is one of the policy options highlighted by a major new report calling for regulation of “compute” – the hardware that underpins all AI – to help prevent artificial intelligence misuse and disasters. Other technical proposals floated by the report include “compute caps”
