AI-Crafted Broad-Spectrum DNA Vaccine Enters First Human Trial

Cambridge researchers used AI to design a DNA vaccine targeting conserved features across the sarbecovirus family (including SARS and related bat viruses) and tested it in humans for the first time. The trial found the vaccine to be safe and capable of inducing antibodies that recognize diverse sarbecoviruses, but the immune response was modest and durability/protection in the real world remain uncertain, necessitating larger trials. If successful, such broad-spectrum, needle-free vaccines could enhance pandemic preparedness and distribution, especially in lower-income regions.

AI-guided ribosome redesign trims the genetic code from 20 to 19 amino acids

A Columbia-Harvard team used AI-based protein design and AlphaFold to create an isoleucine-free ribosome in E. coli, progressively replacing the small ribosomal subunit’s genes and finally making an isoleucine-free subunit with one design that allowed growth to about 60%–70% of normal. They replaced 20 of 21 subunit genes, leaving the rplW gene as the final hurdle; after ~400 generations the strain carried 20–30 mutations but did not reintroduce isoleucine, underscoring both the potential and limits of a reduced genetic code and AI-driven design for fundamental biology.

Anthropic unveils Claude Design, a visual design assistant for teams

Anthropic announced Claude Design, a research preview that lets Claude generate design assets, prototypes, slides and more, powered by the Opus 4.7 vision model. The tool uses prompts, inline edits and custom sliders to adjust visual elements, builds a company-specific visual language from your codebase and design docs, and supports image/document uploads plus a web capture tool. Designs can be shared and exported to Claude Code, with integrations planned. Claude Design is available to Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise subscribers within their usage limits.

AI-Designed Steel for 3D Printing Surges in Strength and Rust Resistance

Researchers used an interpretable machine-learning model to design a new Fe-based alloy tailored for laser powder bed fusion 3D printing, achieving about 1,713 MPa strength and over 15% ductility after a six-hour heat treatment, plus superior corrosion resistance (0.105 mm/year). The PF-ML design approach could accelerate additive manufacturing, though it must be retrained for different material classes.

The Impact of AI on Human Relationships and Trust

Recent research applies attachment theory to human-AI interactions, revealing two key attachment styles—anxiety and avoidance—that influence how people emotionally connect with AI. The study introduces a new scale to measure these attachments, highlighting AI's growing role in providing emotional support and companionship, and emphasizing the need for ethically designed, psychologically aware AI systems to enhance human well-being.

Street Legal Maserati MC12 Race Car: How It Happened.

One of the 12 Maserati MC12 race cars has been turned into a street car by Ai Design, and it participated in this year's Gold Rush Rally on the West Coast with Team Loan Sharks. The MC12 Versione Corse has a 745 horsepower derivative of the Enzo V12 with a higher, 8,000 RPM redline than the street cars. Ai Design had to make the car capable of finishing across from the bottom of America to the top, including adding an EDO Competition brake upgrade, Ferrari Enzo A/C unit, upgraded electric system/lights/fuel system, street suspension/wheels, and an overhead systems pod. The car finished the rally, driving all the way from San Diego, California to Coeur d'Alene in Idaho, despite catching on fire due to the paint protection film heating up.
