amateur uses claude code codex and nasa data to flag a possible exoplanet and tess will test it in november Every 3.18 days, a star sitting 116 light-years from Earth loses a tiny fraction of its brightness. The person who says he caught that pattern is Pavel Rabtsevich, a 28-year-old product manager based in Spain. He has no astronomy training and owns no telescope. His tools were AI coding agents and NASA data that anyone can download. Within a few weeks, a space telescope will check whether he got it right.

claude agent swarm turns up an unknown enzyme system and anthropic is drawing a crispr comparison One strange repeating pattern in a large set of DNA took nearly 1,000 Claude agents, 21 hours and 210 million tokens to find. Anthropic says the pattern points to a "novel enzyme system" and compares it to the machinery behind Crispr.

princetons pacman reads fusion plasma in 20 milliseconds far faster than any operator Even a fully attentive human operator needs roughly a second to respond to anything. PACMAN, a control framework developed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and Princeton University, completes an entire pass in about 20 milliseconds, then loops back and does it again for the duration of the shot.

672 antibodies rebuilt ai designed intrabodies take aim at alzheimers parkinsons and mnd from inside the cell The obstacle facing antibodies is an electrical one. That is the conclusion sitting at the heart of new research from the University of Essex, and it goes a long way toward explaining why decades of antibody development has largely stalled at the cell membrane.
