New model predicts a chemical reaction’s point of no return
Chemists could use this quick computational method to design more efficient reactions that yield useful compounds, from fuels to pharmaceuticals.
With generative AI, MIT chemists quickly calculate 3D genomic structures
A new approach, which takes minutes rather than days, predicts how a specific DNA sequence will arrange itself in the cell nucleus.
A new computational model can predict antibody structures more accurately
Using this model, researchers may be able to identify antibody drugs that can target a variety of infectious diseases.
AI model can reveal the structures of crystalline materials
By analyzing X-ray crystallography data, the model could help researchers develop new materials for many applications, including batteries and magnets.
A new computational technique could make it easier to engineer useful proteins
MIT researchers plan to search for proteins that could be used to measure electrical activity in the brain.
New model identifies drugs that shouldn’t be taken together
Using a machine-learning algorithm, researchers can predict interactions that could interfere with a drug’s effectiveness.
Doctors have more difficulty diagnosing disease when looking at images of darker skin
Dermatologists and general practitioners are somewhat less accurate in diagnosing disease in darker skin, a new study finds. Used correctly, AI may be able to help.
Complex, unfamiliar sentences make the brain’s language network work harder
A new study finds that language regions in the left hemisphere light up when reading uncommon sentences, while straightforward sentences elicit little response.
