New “AI GYM for Science” dramatically boosts the biological and chemical intelligence of any causal or frontier LLM, delivering up to 10x performance gains on key drug discovery benchmarks and advancing the company’s vision of Pharmaceutical Superintelligence (PSI).

A record-setting $55 million commitment from a Binghamton University, State University of New York alumnus and New York state will establish the Center for AI Responsibility and Research, the first-ever independent AI research center at a public university in the United States. Research conducted via the new center will build upon Binghamton research that advances AI for the public good. 

Polyploid genomes, formed through repeated whole-genome duplication and hybridization, underpin the evolution of many important crops, yet their internal structure often remains unresolved when ancestral species are unknown.

Why do some tumours spread while others remain localised? The mechanisms governing the metastatic potential of tumour cells remain largely unknown — yet understanding this is crucial for optimising patient care. Using cells from colon cancers, scientists at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have pinpointed the criteria that influence the risk of metastasis, and identified gene expression signatures that can be used to assess its probability. The team then created an artificial intelligence tool (MangroveGS) capable of transforming these data into predictions for many cancers with unparalleled reliability. These results, published in Cell Reports, pave the way for more precise care and the discovery of new therapeutic targets.

This feature explores how European education systems negotiate tensions between collective ideals and growing competition. Drawing on studies from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Belarus, it examines shadow education, policy debates over equity, culturally grounded early childhood learning, and enduring post-Soviet public institutions. Together, these perspectives reveal education as a social mirror, continuously balancing public good, cultural identity, historical legacy, and individual ambition across diverse European contexts and shared societal values.
