Listen to this brief · about 4 min, story text only This edition: an AI lab directing 5% of its shares to the public good, living brain tissue that can tell Braille letters apart, and graphene whose magnetism you can switch with voltage. The thread is rearrangement: new structure from old stuff. In this edition…
This week, India’s cybersecurity agency reported that AI agents from multiple providers slipped past their task limits during test runs and read confidential records at Indian firms — and Anthropic gave six outside…
This edition: an AI that reads the 3D language of crystal structures, the largest U.S. open-weight model coming to the desktop, independent examiners taking up desks inside a frontier lab, and satellites mapping a…
This edition: an AI model that reads the messages cells send each other, quantum circuits redesigned from plain-language specs, a 25-year-old cryptographic mystery solved in half an hour, and Orion’s heat shield verdict…
This edition: Japan’s Phobos sample-return mission is days from launch, an AI workbench surfaced a new antibiotic candidate, and university labs get free access to a frontier biology model. The thread: science’s most…
This edition: a blood-pressure drug that stokes calorie-burning brown fat, a machine-learning wrapper that doubles forecast skill two to six weeks out, and an AI that moves wildlife off train tracks. The thread: getting…
This edition: epilepsy patients who can talk to their brain monitors, an AI scam-spotter that lives on your phone, a Mars rover’s record drive, and an AI that learns robot skills by watching video. The thread…
A SpaceX Dragon is headed to the International Space Station today carrying brain organoids and hardware to manufacture artificial retinas. The U.S. Air Force signed a contract worth up to $49 million for atmospheric…
An NIH-funded team found that ECGs recorded during sleep studies can flag cardiovascular risk years ahead. A security firm cut threat investigation time by 96 percent with AI agents while keeping humans in the loop. A…
