Scientists have developed an AI-powered system that designs and tests antibody treatments in less than five weeks, a process that traditionally took months or years. This breakthrough could dramatically speed up how quickly new medicines reach patients who need them.
A groundbreaking study of over 750 Nobel Prize and major discoveries reveals that new tools and methods, not just funding or theory, drive most scientific breakthroughs. The findings could help us predict and accelerate future discoveries across all fields of science.
A breakthrough AI platform just doubled the success rate of antibody design, potentially cutting drug discovery timelines from months to weeks. Pfizer is now using this technology to tackle diseases that have stumped researchers for years.
Researchers at the University of Southampton engineered a new four-pronged antibody that supercharges the immune system's ability to destroy cancer cells. The breakthrough could help millions of patients whose cancers don't respond to current treatments.
A material scientist found a pattern that textbooks said couldn't exist, and his curiosity changed how we understand the atomic world. The discovery that started with "10 fold???" scribbled in a notebook led to an entirely new field of materials science.
Scientists have discovered an antibody that successfully halted triple-negative breast cancer in laboratory models, offering hope for one of the most difficult cancers to treat. This breakthrough could lead to better treatment options for thousands of women facing this aggressive disease.
A new AI system translates scientists' ideas into complete drug discovery experiments, running them around the clock in the largest autonomous lab in the US. The breakthrough could slash research time from days to hours.
When paleontologist John Ostrom saw photos of a fluffy dinosaur fossil in 1996, he began to cry and nearly collapsed. The discovery finally proved his decades-old theory that modern birds evolved from dinosaurs.
A new collaboration between Microsoft and biotech company Causaly is bringing AI-powered scientific reasoning to drug discovery, potentially cutting research time from years to months. The partnership announced June 4 could help scientists find new treatments faster by connecting millions of research papers with cutting-edge analytics.
Scientists at UT Southwestern developed an antibody that shrank resistant lung tumors in lab tests, opening hope for patients who run out of options. The treatment worked even against cancers that stopped responding to existing drugs.

A grad student with a homemade telescope in a Colorado parking lot made a discovery that convinced NASA to launch a mission finding thousands of planets. That 1999 breakthrough changed our understanding of the universe forever.
A family outing near a shopping center in Mansfield, Texas turned into a paleontological treasure hunt when a curious kindergartener spotted fossils that scientists later identified as a 100-million-year-old nodosaur. What started as a child's innocent curiosity became a scientifically significant discovery of one of North America's rarest armored dinosaurs.
One of the world's leading astrophysicists says we're living through a golden age of cosmic discovery, thanks to powerful space telescopes and computing advances working together. Priyamvada Natarajan believes major breakthroughs in understanding black holes and dark matter are coming soon.
OpenAI is partnering with pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk to use AI for discovering new medicines faster. The collaboration aims to supercharge scientists, not replace them, while tackling everything from drug discovery to supply chain efficiency.
Two new AI systems are helping researchers find promising treatments in hours instead of years. Robin and Co-Scientist work alongside human scientists to speed up the grueling process of drug discovery.
