The University of Cambridge says it successfully tested a vaccine with an AI-designed antigen
The University of Cambridge says it successfully tested a vaccine with an AI-designed antigen The “super-antigen” could provide long-term protection against a wide range of diseases spread by humans. Wherever you stand on the role of AI in the future of humanity, it has undeniably proved useful in the field of medical research. And now a team of researchers from the University of Cambridge have utilized the technology to create what they call a universal vaccine that could be used to prevent...
AI-designed universal coronavirus vaccine passes first human trial
AI-designed universal coronavirus vaccine passes first human trial - Date: - June 5, 2026 - Source: - University of Cambridge - Summary: - Scientists have successfully tested an AI-designed universal coronavirus vaccine in humans for the first time, finding it to be safe and well tolerated. The vaccine generated immune responses against multiple coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, SARS, and related bat viruses with pandemic potential. By targeting features shared across an entire virus...
Earth's first animals barely evolved until sex changed everything
Earth's first animals barely evolved until sex changed everything - Date: - June 10, 2026 - Source: - University of Cambridge - Summary: - Earth’s earliest animals may have held evolution back because they reproduced asexually, creating low-competition communities that changed very little over time. When environmental pressures pushed them toward sexual reproduction, biodiversity exploded and evolution accelerated dramatically.
New AI-designed ‘universal vaccine’ could future-proof humans against unknown viruses
A new AI-designed vaccine capable of protecting against entire families of viruses could transform how the world prepares for a future pandemic. A team of British researchers, led by scientists at the universities of Cambridge and Southampton in the United Kingdom, has developed the first vaccine designed entirely by artificial intelligence (AI) to be tested in humans. “Viruses like Influenza, Coronaviruses and the Ebola group are evolving continuously, and by the time vaccines are rolled...
Policy recommendations in climate-related research often 'an afterthought', analysis finds
Policy recommendations in climate-related research often 'an afterthought', analysis finds Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Too often, policy recommendations in climate-related research are either an afterthought or stray too far into advocacy, a new analysis has found. Researchers led by the University of Cambridge conducted a systematic review of more than 3,000 scientific papers focused on climate change mitigation and found that recommendations on how to turn...
A lack of sex held back life's diversity for millions of years, fossil study finds
A lack of sex held back life's diversity for millions of years, fossil study finds Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The way that Earth's first animals reproduced held back life's diversity for millions of years, until stress and competition led to the development of sexual reproduction, which in turn accelerated the pace of evolution. Researchers from the University of Cambridge studied fossils from the oldest-known animals on Earth, dating from 574 million years...
Why this $10 spectrometer chip could bring real-time chemical sensing to wearables
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and GlitterinTech, a startup founded by the same research group, have unveiled a fundamentally new type of optical spectrometer that delivers laboratory-grade precision in a device small enough to be embedded in portable and wearable technologies. By rethinking how spectra are measured and processed, the team has demonstrated a spectrometer costing only around $10, operating at a centimeter scale, and capable of applications ranging from...
Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics
Declaration text Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics Preamble Technological developments have repeatedly transformed the practice of mathematics. Recent artificial intelligence technologies, including symbolic and neural methods for the generation and formalization of mathematics, may already have initiated a significant chapter in this long history. Among researchers, artificial intelligence has produced a wide range of reactions: enthusiasm for its potential to...
Tessera AI model offers accessible way to view Earth
Tessera AI model offers accessible way to view Earth Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor A foundation model trained on Earth observation data from Copernicus Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 has been made widely available to researchers, it was announced at a computer industry conference this week in Denver, U.S. Tessera, an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) model, offers high-accuracy datasets that encode what the satellite "sees" of Earth's surface during the course of a...
A quantum metasurface breakthrough could finally close the terahertz gap
A quantum metasurface breakthrough could finally close the terahertz gap A quantum-powered metasurface breakthrough could finally make terahertz technology far more practical, sensitive, and widely usable. - Date: - May 31, 2026 - Source: - SPIE--International Society for Optics and Photonics - Summary: - Researchers have developed a compact quantum detector that makes terahertz radiation much easier to detect. A specially designed metasurface funnels incoming energy into tiny active...
