Teams at OpenAI and Anthropic claim that artificial intelligence has cracked a 27-year-old pillar of computer science. The achievement forms one of three major claims from OpenAI, opening fresh debates on intellectual property and the distribution of machine-generated scientific findings.

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and partner institutions have developed an artificial intelligence tool called BBERT to identify unknown bacterial DNA fragments directly from environmental soil samples. The software, detailed in a study published in Nucleic Acids Research, borrows mechanisms from language processing to evaluate genetic material without needing exact matches in reference catalogs. The invention allows laboratories to reconstruct microbial genomes in less than half the usual time using conventional personal computers.

Engineers and medical researchers at Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital, affiliated with Capital Medical University, have introduced ScaffoldForge, a generative artificial intelligence system for bone repair. The tool designs customized bone scaffolds in roughly 12 seconds, shifting a calculation process that previously required hours of computing time.

Research systems powered by artificial intelligence have generated formal mathematical proofs addressing long-standing conjectures in harmonic analysis, computational complexity, and quantum field theory. The results, announced by [Interesting Engineering](https://interestingengineering.com/ai-robotics/openai-proofs-math-computing-physics), have been formalized using computer-checked verification and handed over to independent mathematicians and physicists for peer assessment.

Scientists at the Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute have developed an artificial intelligence tool capable of predicting a patient's biological age and cancer treatment survival odds from a single facial photograph. The clinical breakthrough provides oncologists with a non-invasive method to evaluate physical reserve before ordering aggressive interventions such as radiotherapy, systemic therapy or surgery. Published in The Lancet Digital Health, the project shows how digital facial biomarkers can measure patient frailty without requiring exhausting clinical tests.

Researchers from the University of Mississippi and Cornell University have analyzed how precision agriculture driven by artificial intelligence is reshaping crop management. Their evaluation shows that automated lasers, robotic cultivators, and targeted sprayers can sharply reduce chemical applications, though substantial capital costs and regional data limitations temper widespread adoption.

Scientists at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, in collaboration with the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and Colorado hardware firm Great Sky, have developed a superconducting neural chip capable of analyzing roughly one million plasma samples every second. The hardware applies principles of artificial intelligence and brain-inspired circuitry to the challenge of real-time control inside fusion reactors.
