The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has launched the AI Small Molecule Drug Discovery Center, a bold endeavor that harnesses artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize drug development. The new Center will integrate AI with traditional drug discovery methods to identify and design new small-molecule therapeutics with unprecedented speed and precision.
Unlike conventional drug discovery, which can take years and cost billions, AI-driven approaches enable researchers to rapidly navigate a vast chemical landscape, including natural products, to pinpoint promising drug candidates. By leveraging Mount Sinai鈥檚 world-leading expertise in machine learning, chemical biology, and biomedical data science, the Center aims to bring innovative treatments to patients faster鈥攑articularly for diseases with urgent unmet needs, including cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.

The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) has appointed Stephen Welby as the new Deputy Director of Research for the Sensors and Intelligent Systems Directorate (SISD), effective April 1, 2025.
The Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) instrument suite developed by researchers at The Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) and the Marshall Space Flight Center for NASA鈥檚 Parker Solar Probe (PSP) has helped the PSP earn the coveted 2024 Robert J. Collier Trophy.
A new study from Cedars-Sinai examined whether a specialized diet could improve symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders linked to an imbalance in gut microbiota.
Many particle accelerators rely on superconducting radiofrequency components made of niobium. Nuclear physicists found that dissolving oxygen atoms a few micrometers into niobium greatly improves the performance of components made of the metal. Now, the researchers are perfecting a model using different processes for adding oxygen. The model helps to predict and optimize component performance.
A modified manufacturing process for electric vehicle batteries, developed by University of Michigan engineers, could enable high ranges and fast charging in cold weather, solving problems that are turning potential EV buyers away.
Five scientists from the Department of Energy鈥檚 Oak Ridge National Laboratory 鈥 Ho Nyung Lee, David Graham, Andrew Sutton, Roger Rousseau and Troy Carter 鈥 have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.
An international team led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers has merged two lab-synthesized materials into a synthetic quantum structure once thought impossible to exist and produced an exotic structure expected to provide insights that could lead to new materials at the core of quantum computing. The work, described in a cover story in the journal Nano Letters, explains how four years of continuous experimentation led to a novel method to design and build a unique, tiny sandwich composed of distinct atomic layers.
A recent study introduces a triangular inverse shell element, referred to as iKS3, offering an accurate yet computationally efficient approach to Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of thin-walled structures.
Urbanization is reshaping soil microbial communities worldwide, driving an unexpected homogenization of bacterial populations while fungal communities remain more resistant to change. A groundbreaking study reveals that urban environments favor bacterial generalists, which adapt to diverse conditions, whereas fungi maintain specialized ecological roles.
A cutting-edge study has made significant advancements in battery lifetime prediction by utilizing transfer learning, a sophisticated approach that transfers knowledge across different data domains. This innovation enhances the accuracy of battery life predictions, a critical factor for ensuring product quality and accelerating progress in energy storage technologies.
Scientists have achieved a significant leap in aqueous Mg-ion battery technology by engineering a breakthrough cathode material (nickel oxide hydroxide (NiOOH)), and systematacially reveal the stable Mg-storage mechanism in NiOOH nanosheets. This innovative design significantly enhances aqueous Mg-ion battery performance, resolving long-standing challenges of balancing high voltage and high capacity.
In a study that used large language models to analyze healthcare records of Quebec francophone children, scientists argue that current criteria for diagnosing autism are in need of revision.
