CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 7, 2026 — Insilico Medicine (“Insilico,” HKEX: 3696), a clinical-stage biotechnology company powered by generative AI, today announced the initiation of the Phase III clinical trial for Rentosertib, its potentially first-in-class oral small-molecule inhibitor targeting TNIK for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a progressive, age-related fibrotic lung disease with high unmet medical need.

Images of faces created by Artificial Intelligence (AI) are seen as more trustworthy than images of genuine faces say researchers, who warn of the risks of online fraud and other harms.

This is the first ever study to examine the trustworthiness of AI faces created by the latest diffusion technology and was led by Lancaster University with Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley.

Lead researcher Lex McGuire said: “As AI-generated images become more sophisticated and more accessible, as a society, we are increasingly exposed to artificially-generated faces—often in nefarious and exploitative scenarios, such as political disinformation, financial and identity fraud, and catfishing.”

Intelligent Computing, a Science Partner Journal co-founded by Zhejiang Lab and the American Association for the Advancement of Science(AAAS), has appointed Philip S. Yu and Osmar R. Zaïane as its new Editors-in-Chief. Philip S. Yu and Osmar R. Zaïane succeed the journal's founding Editors-in-Chief at a pivotal stage of development, as Intelligent Computing continues its rapid growth as an international open-access journal dedicated to advancing the convergence of intelligence and computing.

Researchers at the ctd.qmat Cluster of Excellence in Würzburg have developed a new type of electronic component. These open up new possibilities for energy-efficient hardware, such as for applications in artificial intelligence.

Quasicrystals are neither conventional crystals nor amorphous solids, and their magnetic behavior remained a mystery. Researchers have now created the first bulk, annealable ferromagnetic quasicrystals and uncovered an unexpected form of magnetic critical behavior. The results show that the quasicrystal magnetism is controlled by both quasiperiodic structure and spin symmetry, establishing new design principles for magnetic quasicrystalline materials. These materials can form the foundation for new magnetic and quantum functional materials.
