A virtual screening campaign using machine learning identified molecules with potential for development as novel CDK9 inhibitors for the treatment of cancer, according to early research findings published in Biomolecules. Integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the drug discovery phase allowed for an accelerated analysis and identification of 14 molecule candidates that were then further tested
Key Takeaways AI is reshaping pharmacy practice by improving workflows, medication safety, and clinical decision-making, enabling pharmacists to focus on patient care. Despite AI's potential, its integration into pharmacy education is limited, with few curricula establishing clear learning outcomes. A scoping review found AI supports personalized learning and pharmacy coursework, highlighting its growing role in
Skip to content 15 Jan 2026 A new study suggests the mathematics behind AI training also governs the hidden dynamics of everyday foams, challenging long-standing assumptions in materials science. Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have found that foams, long assumed to behave like static glass, remain in constant internal motion while preserving their outward
Our third annual “Our Life with AI” survey shows the top reason people use AI is to learn and understand new concepts — not just to be entertained. General summary A recent study shows people now use AI primarily for learning instead of entertainment. Students, teachers and parents are using AI to help with schoolwork
For the past several years, Yoshua Bengio, a professor at the Université de Montréal whose work helped lay the foundations of modern deep learning, has been one of the AI industry’s most alarmed voices, warning that superintelligent systems could pose an existential threat to humanity—particularly because of their potential for self-preservation and deception. In a

Defense research and development company SRC, Inc. won a $24 million contract with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to develop next-generation embedded artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) capabilities across ground, air, and space domains. Under the terms of
Researchers used artificial intelligence to study the currents flowing through Indonesia, including in the Maluku Strait, seen here.

As the only low-latitude current that connects the
Lynx Analytics announced Lumen, a specialized Agentic AI framework designed to help pharmaceutical and biotech organizations generate strategic, decision-ready insights from complex scientific and commercial information. Built specifically for life sciences workflows, Lumen enables companies to deploy AI agents across a wide range of real-world use cases — from rapidly distilling lengthy clinical or market
Liver cancer is a serious disease that can be difficult to detect early. When a patient’s symptoms raise a concern, physicians usually use medical images, such as CT scans or MRIs, to look for signs of cancer or abnormal growth in the liver. But sometimes, these images are challenging to read, and small tumors can
The development of a novel AI Hip Growth Chart represents a significant step forward in pediatric radiology. A recent study introduced a deep learning (DL)-based algorithm for automatically measuring the size of the femoral head ossification center (FHOC) in children. Historically, manual measurement of the FHOC on radiographs is often subjective and prone to inter-observer
