AI Generates Fluorescent Protein That Nature Would Need 500 Million Years to Evolve
A new AI-generated fluorescent protein, esmGFP, has been developed, a process that would have taken nature 500 million years. Scientists used ESM3, an AI model trained on billions of natural protein sequences, to design a functional protein beyond evolutionary constraints. The development is expected to accelerate medical research, drug discovery, ...

New Dual-Reactor Tech Turns CO2 Into Protein for Food and Sustainability
A team of engineers in China has developed an innovative dual-reactor system that converts carbon dioxide into a high-protein product suitable for human and animal consumption. The two-stage process uses microbial electrosynthesis to turn CO2 into acetate, which is then used by bacteria to produce single-cell protein. This system promises a more su...

Scientists Created Solar-Powered Animal Cells by Combining Choloplasts From Algae and Hamster Cells
A team from the University of Tokyo has successfully created hybrid animal cells that can generate energy from sunlight. By integrating chloroplasts from the red algae Cyanidioschyzon merolae into Chinese hamster cells, the researchers demonstrated that these cells can sustain photosynthesis for up to 48 hours. This breakthrough could have signific...
