Hastie was recently named an LJI Research Assistant Professor. Her new lab will focus on “New World” Arenaviruses, a family of viruses that has become a growing threat in the Americas. These viruses ...

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have plugged an agentic AI platform into an X-ray nanoprobe beamline, creating a system that can get a closer look at areas researchers ask it to focus on.

Science has increasingly used artificial intelligence (AI) as a kind of microscope—sorting data, analyzing images and revealing hidden patterns. Now a new shift is underway: AI that not only breaks ...

Looking back on my work at BL32XU, I believe that what we built was not just equipment and software like microbeams and automated measurement systems.When BL32XU first started up, users were still ...

Every week, a lab somewhere feeds a protein sequence into AlphaFold Server and gets back a structure prediction that used to take months to solve ...

How is it that this organ, weighing a mere 1.3 kilograms, is packed with childhood memories, dreams, and creativity? Why do ...

After being chosen for one of the world's most prestigious awards, some Nobel laureates lose touch with reality and suddenly start spouting unscientific nonsense. They're afflicted by what some have ...
