Self-driving Lab: AI and Automated Biology Combine to Improve Enzymes
By combining artificial intelligence with automated robotics and synthetic biology, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have dramatically improved performance of two important industrial enzymes — and created a user-friendly, fast process to improve many more.
Seaweed-infused Cement Could Cut Concrete’s Carbon Footprint
The modern world is built with concrete: Humans use more concrete annually than any other material besides water. Yet cement, the key component of concrete, is the source of as much as 10% of all carbon dioxide emissions worldwide.
Scientists Uncover DNA Secrets to Bolster Corn Crop Traits
Innovative technology allows new insights for Rutgers researchers.
Merging AI and Underwater Photography to Reveal Hidden Ocean Worlds
The LOBSTgER research initiative at MIT Sea Grant explores how generative AI can expand scientific storytelling by building on field-based photographic data.
Scientists Develop Deep-blue LEDs Expected to Greatly Enhance General Lighting
A Rutgers-led team of scientists has developed an eco-friendly, very stable, ultra-bright material and used it to generate deep-blue light (emission at ~450 nm) in a light-emitting diode (LED), an energy-efficient device at the heart of all major lighting systems.
