AI identifies single protein interaction that blocks virus entry into cells before infection

Washington State University researchers used artificial intelligence and molecular simulations to identify a critical amino acid interaction that stops herpes viruses from entering cells. By introducing a targeted mutation to this single interaction among thousands, they successfully blocked viral fusion, pointing toward a new direction for antiviral therapies that intervene before infection begins.

UAE bets $147 billion on Artificial Intelligence to drive economic diversification beyond oil

The UAE is constructing a massive AI campus in Abu Dhabi's desert, a quarter the size of Paris, powered by five gigawatts of electricity. With over $147 billion invested since 2024 and partnerships with tech giants like Microsoft, OpenAI, and Nvidia, the oil-rich nation aims to become an AI-native powerhouse. But fierce competition from the US and China means success remains uncertain in this fast-evolving sector.

AI Co-Pilot for Bionic Hands Transforms How Amputees Control Prosthetics with Intuitive Grasping

University of Utah researchers developed an AI co-pilot for bionic hands that dramatically improves control for amputees. The system uses proximity and pressure sensors combined with artificial intelligence to enable natural, intuitive grasping. Success rates jumped from 10-20% to 80-90% in tests involving fragile objects, while significantly reducing the cognitive burden on users.
