Researchers use AI to design proteins that cut up other proteins
Ars Technica 10 hours ago 26
Researchers used AI-based protein design tools to redesign proteases by keeping the catalytic cores of two types while replacing the rest of each protein.

HiRO-ACEv2: Simulating extreme weather at 3 km resolution for a fraction of the cost
Allen Institute (AI2) 19 hours ago 31 ● 2 sources
HiRO-ACEv2 updated Ai2’s HiRO-ACE climate emulator to better downscale coarse simulations into 3 km global weather fields, including rarer extremes. It can generate global 3 km climate data at about 1/300th the cost of X-SHiELD. As a result, researchers can produce multiple 10-year sequences of high-resolution rain, wind, and pressure with higher extreme-event accuracy, with future work extending it to warmer or historical climates.
OlsAro secures €5M to scale AI genetics for climate-resilient crops
Tech Funding News 22 hours ago 21
OlsAro secured €5M seed funding to scale its AI- and genetics-based SeedAX platform for climate-resilient wheat aimed at seed-company customers. The funding is meant to bring its salt-tolerant wheat product to market in Bangladesh by 2027. The new programmes add drought and nitrogen-use efficiency work and expand field trials, R&D, and trait discovery to support additional cereals.
