Editorial: No, AI viruses aren’t coming to kill us (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Editorial: No, AI viruses aren’t coming to kill us Dual-use concerns are always worth considering, but we’re more excited than worried about the sciences behind AI-generated bacteriophages Opinion pieces from C&EN staff addressing core issues in chemistry. C&EN covers a lot of the uses of artificial intelligence in chemistry and biology. Long-term readers will remember that we followed the world of protein structure prediction and the de novo protein design field for years before the 2024 Nobel

Cryo-EM uncovers new transition state for a voltage-gated potassium pore Better understanding how a common channel opens and closes may help scientists build better medicines Highlights, news stories and awards from ACS meetings. Chicago—Have you thanked a voltage-gated potassium channel today? These channels are ubiquitous across excitable cells like nerve and muscle cells, where they open and close to facilitate the flow of positively charged potassium ions across a membrane. In doing so, they

Electrodes that can turn brain signals into speech and movement Brain-computer interfaces rely on electrodes to gather enough signal. But the materials and strategies can vary Recurring stories and special news packages from C&EN. With up to a hundred metal spikes on its square-shaped surface, the Utah array looks as if someone decided stepping on a Lego wasn’t painful enough. Thankfully, the Utah array is about half the size of a fingernail. It’s also not supposed to go anywhere near the floor.
