Scientists used machine learning to discover that water, not just molecular frameworks, guides how proteins assemble into complex structures. The breakthrough could revolutionize how we design lightweight, crash-resistant materials inspired by nature.
Scientists just taught AI to create proteins based on how they vibrate and flex, not just their shape. This breakthrough could revolutionize everything from medicine to sustainable materials.
University of Virginia scientists created AI tools that design drugs while treating proteins as flexible, living structures instead of frozen snapshots. This breakthrough could slash the 90% failure rate in drug development and bring new treatments to patients faster.
UK retailer Primark just released a clothing line with magnetic zippers, adjustable features, and stoma bag pouches designed specifically for adults with disabilities. Award-winning designer Victoria Jenkins, who has chronic conditions herself, led the collection that models and customers are calling "life-changing."
Scientists are on the brink of two major breakthroughs that could revolutionize drug development and disease treatment. New AI systems can now predict how proteins change shape and design custom proteins that bind to disease targets with stunning accuracy.
A fintech company just invested ₦3 million in Nigerian designers grappling with AI's impact on creativity. The challenge celebrated imperfection as audiences increasingly crave human-made work over algorithmic perfection.
Researchers have successfully designed artificial protein cages that mimic nature's most efficient structures, opening doors to breakthrough drug delivery systems and new medical treatments. These microscopic containers can be programmed to specific sizes and may revolutionize how we treat diseases.
Scientists just released a free database of over 1 billion protein structures predicted by AI, more than quadrupling the size of previous collections. The breakthrough tool, ESMFold2, could accelerate discoveries in medicine and help researchers design new treatments for cancer and immune diseases.
Scientists at Oxford University have successfully engineered proteins that harness quantum mechanics, marking the first time these mysterious physics effects have been deliberately designed into biological molecules for practical use. The breakthrough could revolutionize medical imaging and drug delivery.
Singapore's Prototype Island exhibition debuts at Milan Design Week 2026, showcasing how designers merge quantum computing, AI, and 4D printing with traditional craftsmanship. The exhibition proves technology and heritage can work together to solve real-world challenges.
Fifteen Thai furniture companies are wowing international audiences at Milan's premier design show, proving that ancient craftsmanship and modern innovation make beautiful partners. Brands like Deesawat and Kenkoon are putting Thailand on the global design map with stunning pieces that honor tradition while embracing the future.
After 15 years of skepticism, scientists finally cracked a technology that lets microscopes see tiny proteins in stunning detail. The laser phase plate could unlock mysteries about how proteins work inside living cells.
Women are leading a worldwide shift toward higher protein intake, with 51% of new protein seekers being female. The change reflects a growing focus on fitness, healthy aging, and overall wellness.
A Mumbai design initiative is proving climate solutions don't always look like typical environmental projects. Godrej Design Lab's Conscious Collective brought together designers during Mumbai Climate Week to rethink materials, data, and waste for a changing planet.
Loredana Crisan went from classical pianist in Romania to sound engineer to Chief Design Officer at Figma, proving that artistic training builds better technology leaders. Her secret? Treating design like music: it should make people feel something.
When official design fails, everyday people step in with handwritten notes and improvised signs to help others navigate the world. Designer Kate Canales has photographed these small acts of consideration for over two decades, revealing our instinct to look out for each other.
Northwestern University researchers developed a breakthrough therapy that grabs "undruggable" cancer proteins and drags them to the cell's trash system for destruction. The approach worked against MYC and KRAS, two proteins that drive many aggressive cancers and resist most treatments.
The AlphaFold protein database just added predictions for how proteins pair up, a breakthrough that helps scientists understand how life actually works at the molecular level. The freely available tool now includes 1.7 million protein partnerships across 20 key species.
A Mexican architect is transforming everyday objects like breakfast cereal and tree-lined walks into joyful furniture that's landing in luxury stores from Paris to Milan. Her pandemic-born studio proves design can be both playful and purposeful.
The world's largest protein structure database just got a major upgrade that could speed up drug discovery and disease research. AlphaFold now predicts how proteins work together, not just alone.
