AI system can generate novel proteins that meet structural design targets

These tunable proteins could be used to create new materials with specific mechanical properties, like toughness or flexibility.

Detailed images from space offer clearer picture of drought effects on plants

J-WAFS researchers are using remote sensing observations to build high-resolution systems to monitor drought.

Integrating humans with AI in structural design

A process that seeks feedback from human specialists proves more effective at optimization than automated systems working alone.
