A new AI model could predict interactions between proteins and molecules much more efficiently than before. This was made possible by a collaboration between the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) and the Botnar Institute of Immune Engineering.
The integration of biological organisms into synthetic structures offers a radical new pathway for developing intelligent, self-powered materials. Researchers have pioneered an innovative approach to bio-manufacturing by using light-based 3D printing to engineer living material systems capable of localized environmental processing.
Javier Pérez-Ramírez, professor at the Institute of Chemical and Bioengineering D-CHAB, receives the Environment Prize of the Royal Society of Chemistry for connecting catalyst design, reaction engineering, and sustainability metrics to develop new catalytic technologies that enable circular carbon utilisation.
