Fighting antibiotic resistance at the source – using machine learning to identify bacterial resistance genes and the drugs to block them

By analyzing the resistance genes and proteins of E. coli, researchers can optimize treatments to address both current and future antimicrobial resistance.

Tracking vampire worms with machine learning − using AI to diagnose schistosomiasis before the parasites causing it hatch in your blood

Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease that triggers specific immune responses in the body. Identifying those hidden immune signatures can help improve detection and treatment.

2 solar probes are helping researchers understand what phenomenon powers the solar wind

For years, researchers have wondered what energy source allows the solar wind − a projection of charged particles from the Sun − to rush by at hundreds of miles a second.

Ancient viral genomes preserved in glaciers reveal the history of Earth’s climate – and how viruses adapt to climate change

From ice cores extracted from the Tibetan Plateau, scientists recovered the equivalent of 1,705 virus species. Reading their genomes tells the story of 41,000 years of climate change.
